Lemon Rosemary Salmon
We got this recipe from a Lifehacker post about cooking cleanly and quickly with nothing but a baking sheet. I would follow the link to get full details on the complete meal, which included a side of veggies and potatoes and was more food than we needed. We cut it down and simply added rice, which absolutely must be incorporated in every meal somehow in an Asian household /stereotypes.
For our meal, we took an 8 oz. pink salmon steak and brushed both sides with a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. We placed a few slices of lemon and some fresh sprigs of rosemary, and wrapped the whole thing up in foil and baked for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F. A cup of cooked medium grain white rice and a cup of sauteed mushrooms for me (none for Steph of course) completed the dish. A full meal at 700 calories - not too shabby.
The food smelled great, and the lemon and rosemary aroma really made this dish sing. Cleanup was super quick with just two plates to clean since everything was prepared in the foil and on the baking sheet.
We also tried this with chicken a few nights later, and it wasn’t that good. I would definitely do this with just fish.
