  Lately, my life has been a whirlwind.  And much to my own disappointment finding time to cook has been…well…unrealistic.
In between my full time job, my cooking classes, my blogging, my working out and the endless heaps of laundry that magically multiply in my laundry room overnight – I am pooped.

Even this chef needs a break 🙂

So I have come up with several recipes that are quick, healthy and most importantly delicious!  Considering I eat 5-6 meals a day now…and avoid meat altogether….I find it difficult to look forward to a meal if it is inedible 🙂

 

This salmon is quite simple and comes together in no time.  I took some help from my good friend Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyake.

And then I combined some lemon zest, lemon juice, diced pineapple and good ole garlic. Whisk, whisk, whisk to combine!  And don’t forget to taste!  You can whisk all this up in an oven proof dish that you are going to use to cook your salmon in!

I sliced up my salmon into 4 ounce portions and laid them into my oven safe dish.

I covered them up in my teriyaki and pineapple sauce and went off to a quick and much needed workout.

When I came back from my workout…all endorphin high and happy…I turned on the oven to 450-degrees and once it had preheated, I placed the salmon in there for 10 minutes.

While my salmon cooked I warmed up some Basmati rice, and sliced some scallions and pineapple for the salmon as a fun garnish.

Oh and can we please talk about this rice? My girlfriend Meggan from Culinary Hill has this FABULOUS Chipotle Copycat Rice recipe.  Seriously this stuff is fantastic!!! I add anything from scallions, to sesame oil to tomatoes…it’s always fabulous!  And it NEVER sticks!  I always make 3-4 cups of rice and freeze half of it so that I have rice in the freezer when I need it for a last minute dinner.

Back to our fish…10 minutes later, this was what I pulled out of the oven.  It smelled heavenly and tasted even better. It’s a real looker!!! And best of all?  You get away with one dish to clean!  Now if that does not spell dinner happiness…I don’t know what does!

  1. Thank you so much for talking about my rice!!! And I’m glad you love it. 🙂 I’ve tried the Very Very Teriyaki sauce and it’s INCREDIBLE!! Love the stuff. Pinning!!

    1. Thanks love! Well I love your rice…I will be teaching that technique in my next vegetarian cooking class so THANK YOU!

  2. Baked salmon is the BEST! So simple to cook it this way and 10-12 minutes is perfection. This looks like a super flavourful yet healthy meal. Love it. I don’t know that we have that Teriyaki sauce here in Australia… I think I’ll have to go searching.

  3. I LOVE salmon – I could eat it six ways to Sunday 😉 I’m totally diggin’ the flavors you’ve got going on here and of course everyone loves a quick, easy, and healthy meal that you can make during the week. I’ve never tried Very Very Teriyaki – thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have to give it a go!

    1. They have so many different flavors too Kat! I love the addition of lemon here because it really adds a pop of flavor!

      1. In the first sentence (under the header) you mention “ginger.” For the life of me I can’t find it anywhere in your directions or even the ingredients! I sprinkled some ginger powder on the salmon prior to baking. This is going into a pineapple bowl with some jasmine rice and sautéed peppers and onions.

        1. Well that sounds lovely!!! Let me re-check the recipe and make sure that everything is good! Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

  4. Just made this….divine. Added a bit of lemon. Served with steamed green beans…yum. Y husband ate 2 fillets…and I’m usually lucky to get him to eat one.

    1. YAY!!!! I love it when people who typically do not eat a food, start eating it after my recipe! Thanks for commenting!
