What I Cooked Last Night
Yesterday I bought 2 salmon filets to saute. LJ is not a great fan of salmon and will only eat it sauteed ( with a sauce) or smoked like lox. So I made a lemon caper sauce with equal parts low fat mayonnaise and yogurt, a finely chopped shallot, chopped capers, the juice of a lemon, and a little salt and pepper. I sauteed the salmon for about 5 minutes on each side. I also roasted chopped zucchini with salt, pepper and olive oil in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Finally I put some quartered grape tomatoes in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil, juice of half a lemon, salt, pepper, and a half cup of coucous. I brought 3/4 cup of chicken stock to a boil and poured it over the couscous, covered it and let it stand for 5 minutes. Dinner was healthy and delicious, and if you go back and look at those cooking times, it was on the table in about 20 minutes. How easy can you get?
