Fish-o-Licious : Slow-Roasted Salmon
Oh, yes, this is my actual lunch.I just made the world's most incredible lunch. After going to the gym this morning, I was ravenous and just couldn't bring myself to eat one more frozen dinner. So, I stopped by the store and picked up a salmon filet to try a recipe I saw in this month's Weight Watchers Magazine. I'm eating it as I type this. The entire menu for my lunch is as follows:
Slow Roasted Salmon (from Weight Watchers Magazine)
Steamed Curried Brown Rice (my recipe)
Quick Sauteed Broccoli & Mushrooms in Garlic (my recipe)
Slow Roasted Salmon
Ingredients
2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice (I used lime)
2 tablespoons of Djion mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove of minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne
2 lbs of salmon filets
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325º. Line a roasting pan (or cookie sheet) with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
2. Combine the lemon (or lime) juice, mustard, oil, garlic, salt, coriander and cayenne in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the fish.
3. Place the fish skin-side down* in the roasting pan and roast until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center reads 125ºF, 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately.
