Recipe of the Day : Baked Scottish Salmon w/ Garlic Spinach and Coriander and Lemon Cous Cous
Ingredients/Grocery List: Total spent today: £6.15 – I did good!
1 Packet of Coriander and Lemon Cous Cous £.55
1 Packet of Spinach £1.00
2 Lemons - £.60
2 Fresh Scottish Salmon Fillet 160G £4.00(2 for 4 deal!)
2 small tomato on vine (had it already)
2 tablespoon of Capers (had it already)
1 Spring of Rosemary (had it already from last week)
2 cloves of garlic (had it already from the portabella mushroom recipe)
Olive oil (had it already)
Fresh Ground Pepper
Fresh Sea Salt
Get a deep baking dish. Wrap with tin foil (I always do this... saves time with the clean up!). Add 2 tablespoon of olive oil to the bottom of the pan. Place the salmon fillet in the pan then brush a generous amount of olive oil on the top. Dash it with fresh ground pepper and sea salt. Mince the rosemary and sprinkle about 2 teaspoon of the freshly cut rosemary for each salmon fillet. This will really bring out the natural flavors. Then cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from a half lemon over each fillet. Thinly slice the tomatoes and place the slices on top of the fillets. Then add 1 tablespoon of capers to each fillet. Preheat the oven for 200 C and place the dish in for 30 minutes. Start washing the spinach and slice the two garlic cloves. Add about 1-2 tablespoon of olive oil into a skillet and throw in the garlic. After heating up, toss in the spinach. This should only take about 5 minutes to cook. For the cous cous, follow the instructions on the packet... keep it simple.
This dinner was definitely a cheap, quick and delicious meal. My husband really enjoyed it. It was light, but filling. I guess that means that there’s room for dessert??? :) Challenge succeed.
