So, my school started its own version of The Biggest Loser last week, and I decided to enter it with my team lead as my partner. I have since been like a crazy scientist in the kitchen, trying to find new ways to prepare protein and veggies. I've completely given up carbs, whole grain and all for the time being. As you can imagine, food starts to get a little boring when the protein options are limited to boneless/ skinless chicken breasts, extra lean turkey, salmon, any white fish, and tofu. I love all of the above minus the tofu, but it can get a little boring eating the same thing all the time. Yesterday, right before I threw in an aerobics dvd, I threw a filet of salmon, fresh green beans, and baby carrots on a baking sheet. I waved my magic wand of spices and ended up with a delicious, healthy dinner.
HERB-COATED SALMON WITH ROASTED VEGGIES
Ingredients (serves 2):
10-12 oz. salmon fillet, skin removed
1 lime
1 T. herbs de provence
2 t. olive oil
1 t. garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 c. baby carrots
1 1/2 c. green beans
Combine spices with olive oil and smooth "paste" over the top of the salmon fillet. Squeeze the juice of a lime over the top of the coated salmon. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper. Place the salmon fillet in the center of a baking sheet. Surround the salmon with the carrots and green beans. Lightly drizzle some olive oil over the veggies, and season them with salt and pepper as well. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Enjoy!
