It’s full-blown winter, folks. Shorter days lead to shorter energy spans and that can impact important decisions like—hey, what’s for dinner? Put down the frozen dinner down, my friend. Let’s suit up for one heck of a hearty and healthy winter meal.
This easy salmon recipe is ready in 30-minutes or less.
This baked salmon recipe is quick to prep, with plenty of time to whip up a couple of quick and easy side dishes. I paired my salmon with a zesty arugula and pecorino salad as well as a scallion-y and fluffy couscous.
Sounds to me like the perfect recipe for a toasty, romantic candlelit dinner at home for two. You know, food for thought.
COOK’S TIP: Did you know you can regrow your scallions? Leave at least 2-3 inches from the root base, place in a cup of water and watch your scallions come back to life in a matter of days.
