Oven Roasted Salmon with Zucchini

I was so excited the other day when I received a $1 off coupon on a salmon fillet and definitely put it to good use.  My husband is not a fan of salmon so I whipped this up for lunch and it was fantastic.  The salmon had just the right amount of seasoning without overpowering any of the natural salmon flavor.  Definitely a new regular for me!!

 

 Ingredients for Salmon:

• 1 1/2 pound salmon fillet
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
• juice from 1 lemon wedge
• salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients for zucchini

• 1 zucchini, sliced in half lengthwise and again
• 1/4 teaspoon olive oil
• pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, to taste

Directions:  Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Place salmon onto a foil lined cookie sheet with a little olive oil.  In a small bowl whisk all other salmon ingredients and pour over salmon.  Place sliced zucchini onto the cookie sheet and top with remaining zucchini ingredients.  Bake for 12 minutes and serve.

Lemon Garlic Cod Fillets

This is my first attempt at Cod and it was delicious.  As you can see from the picture above, I need to perfect my flipping technique a bit.  When I did a quick Internet search for, "Sauteed Cod" the fillets all looked so perfect.  Mine as you can see do not....  however, they tasted fantastic and will be a regular in our house.  I am betting I will have a new and improved photo in no time!!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 Alaskan Cod Fillets
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 3 cloves garlic, grated
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:  In a small bowl whisk lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper together.  In a medium skillet melt butter over medium heat and add Cod.  Top cod with juice mixture and baste frequently.  Saute for about 3 minutes on each side, or until Cod is cooked through and flaky.
