I'm new to the fish-eating world and, thus, new to the fish-making world. Again, I found the recipe on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try. It was SO easy (no dishes involved!) and quite tasty. It's been in the 70s all week and was the perfect recipe to make for a "spring" day.
Ingredients:
2 skinless filets of salmon
Foil
Cooking spray
3 (ish) tbsp. pesto
2 roma tomatoes
A few slices of onion
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450. I made roasted potatoes with the salmon so I put them in for 30 minutes before cooking the salmon. I also cooked them on parchment paper for the first time & let me say, that's the way to go!
Tear two large pieces of foil & spray with cooking spray. Place the salmon on one piece of foil. Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons of pesto on each piece of salmon.
Layer onion slices & tomatoes on top of the salmon. Season with salt & pepper.
Place the other piece of foil over the salmon & fold it into a pocket so that it's completely sealed.
Place on a cookie sheet in the oven for 15 minutes. I didn't take any photos once it was finished but the salmon & the pesto was a delicious combination.
I love hummus. I love avocados. I love Sriracha. Why not combine them?
I saw this recipe on Pinterest and followed it up until the end when I added some spice. When I make this again, I will only use one avocado instead of two. I liked it with two but it tasted much more like guacamole than hummus. I also didn't add olive oil because I didn't think it needed any more liquid. All in all, I really enjoyed this & will definitely make it again.
Ingredients:
2 avocados (this time -- next time, I'll just use 1)
1 can chick peas
Juice of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup water
Seasonings (seasoned salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, cumin)
Sriracha
Directions:
Drain & rinse chick peas. Dice up avocado. Add lemon juice, garlic, water & some seasonings.
Use a food processor to combine. I only have a tiny one so I had to do this in 6 batches!
I added little bits of Sriracha & continued to taste it to make sure I didn't get too crazy with the spiciness.
All in all, very tasty! I ate it with vegetables, pretzels, on sandwiches, etc. & will absolutely make it again!
