Broiled Salmon with Peppercorn-Lime Rub

Spice up fish night by giving salmon a delectable 4-ingredient rub before cooking. A quick quinoa-vegetable salad rounds out the meal.


Ingredients:
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 3/4 inch thick)
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 teaspoons grated lime rind
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Lime wedges (optional)








Preparation:

1. Preheat broiler.

2. Place fish, skin sides down, on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Combine remaining ingredients except lime wedges; sprinkle over fish. Broil 7 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

Quinoa-vegetable salad: Combine 1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth and 3/4 cup uncooked quinoa in a medium saucepan; bring mixture to a boil. Cover and simmer 12 minutes or until liquid is almost absorbed. Stir in 1 1/2 cups chopped zucchini and 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

Cut the bread on a diagonal into 2cm/1" diamonds but do not cut all the way through the bread (just like you would cut a french stick for garlic bread). Use your fingers or a knife to pry open each crack and drizzle in a teaspoon of butter and stuff in a pinch of cheese. This might sound like a bit of an effort, but I promise you it is worth it!

OVEN BAKED SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN

Image
My oven baked version of Sweet & Sour chicken which is not like most recipes you will find on the internet. My sauce uses less sugar so it's not overly sweet, the sauce ingredients has a few extra things in it so it really does taste more like restaurant Sweet & Sour sauce, and the chicken is only baked for 20 minutes so it does not dry out (but still lovely and crispy!). The ingredients list for this recipe is longer than most on my site - but it is well worth it!
