Grilled salmon with avocado salsa (salsa not pictured) and roasted balsamic green beans and mushrooms.
The avocado salsa isn't pictured because technically I haven't made it yet. Waiting until I'm about to eat this for lunch tomorrow before I make the salsa (which is basically just guacamole so fresher is better).
I was gifted a Le Cruset cast iron grill skillet for Christmas last week and took it for a spin today. It cooked my salmon beautifully! Look at those grill lines - I'm in love. Just rubbed some spices (paprika, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, salt & pepper) on the salmon and put it on the grill until cooked through.
For the veggies I simply mixed them in a large bowl with some EVOO and balsamic vinegar, dumped them on a baking sheet and sprinkled with salt, pepper, and a few tbsp of grated parm. Roasted at 400(? I think) for about 20 mins. I sampled these fresh out of the oven and YUM!
Pre-roasting action shot!

Lemon Basil Baked Salmon
Comments (0) | Sunday, June 26, 2011
It is a pretty well established fact that I am not a super crazy fan of fish. Unless it is raw or comes in stick form I tend to stay away from it. That said, I am not opposed to cooking it for people who want it themselves.
So, when my mom asked for a dinner of Salmon when I was planning this week's menu I certainly was not afraid to step up to the task.
15 minutes of intense recipe search (I am a highly skilled recipe searcher) later and I had a winner.

So, I made the salmon and I served it with brown rice. It wasn't even very good brown rice but my parents seemed to like it a lot. I may try to incorporate more of it into what we eat in the future, we'll see. As for the taste rating, since I didn't have any I polled my parents and my sister.
Suggestions / Changes
As per commented suggestions on the recipe site, I reduced the olive oil to 2tbsp and added 1tbsp melted butter. I halved the added salt. I also increased the lemon juice to 3tbsp. I let the fish set in the marinade for about 7-8 hours, but I don't know if that affected the fish positively or negatively. I only cooked it for 35 minutes (the low end of the suggested time) and my mom thought it was a TAD overdone.
Woo!
The fish, post marinade pre oven.

Scallop and Shrimp Bake (Original Recipe)

Ooh ahh, just a little bit… Ooh ahh, little bit more!
Yes, that is what you will say when you finish your serving of this bad boy. Oh man, it is very good. I ventured out of my comfort zone with this meal. I’d never prepared scallops without pasta before, but I have several pasta dishes planned in the next few days so I wanted to mix it up a bit here. I decided to bake them!
Worked out quite well.

Oh baby oh baby. I am not a huge fan of fish (except in sushi), but I loooooove shellfish, and this is one of my favorite ways I have had scallops. This was very, very simple to toss together and throw in the oven while I cooked the side dish. I even liked the shrimp in it, and I’m generally not a huge fan of shrimp, either. Anyway, make this! You will not be disappointed.
