Garlic and Parmesan Salmon

It's no secret I like to eat. I mean, if you follow my instagram you see my posts about eating out and eating in. I am a self-touted foodie! I also love to cook. Nothing says I love you like making a home cooked meal. I make dinner 3-4 times a week. It's usually nothing fancy and staples are turkey tacos, deep-dish cheeseburger pie and chopped salads, but sometimes I fancy myself a gourmet. And gourmet a la healthy. This week it was salmon and roasted cauliflower.

Salmon you say? I cannot cook salmon. Yes you can, its super easy, super yummy and super good for you. You just need a few simple spices, one pan and one oven. Its a one pan wonder!

You'll Need:

2 (4 oz)Salmon fillets (if frozen, let thaw before using) 
1/2 headCauliflower, cut into small florets
Dry Spice Mix:
1/3 cupParmesan cheese, grated
1/2 tspGarlic powder
1/4 tspOnion powder
1/2 tspPaprika
1/4 tspSalt
1/8 tspPepper
1 tbsDried parsley or Oregano
Wet Mix:
1 tbsLemon juice (juice from 1/2 lemon)
1/4 cupPlain low fat Greek yogurt
2 tspGarlic, minced
What to Do:

1. Pre-heat oven to 425
2. Cover large sheet pan with foil and  pour 1/2 tablespoon EVOO on
3. Chop the cauliflower into small florets
4. Place florets onto one half of the pan
5. Sprinkle 2Tbs of the dry mix over the cauliflower
6. add the wet mix to the dry mix
7. place salmon on other half of pan and spread mixture on top evenly
8. Bake salmon 20 minutes, or until opaque in thickets part & topping is lightly brown
9. remove salmon to rest, it will continue to cook for 5 min
10. turn broiler to high and broil cauliflower for 2-3 min to get extra nutty flavor, watch is closely so does not burn
11. Enjoy!

  4. I really really really really wish I liked salmon but I don't. Sady I've even had it right out of the Pacfic northwest in Seattle and still didn't like it. A little too fishy for me. I love anything with garlic and parmesan though ( most anything).
