This is the first recipe in my series: 15 Minute Dinners! Each meal in the series only takes 15 minutes to make, and tastes like you spent an hour in the kitchen. My goal with these recipes is to show you that cooking a healthy meal can be simple and taste delicious! Let’s get cookin!

INGREDIENTS:

(Serves 2)

• Bag of red potatoes (I like this brand from Walmart)
• 2 pieces of salmon
• 2 cups mixed greens
• 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cucumber
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• salad dressing (find my favorite store-bought dressing here)

SEASONINGS:

• 2 tsp pink salt
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp dill weed
• 1 tsp rosemary

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Steam bag of red potatoes in the microwave for 6 minutes
2. Heat a pan with 1 tbsp avocado oil and add the salmon, skin side down
3. Season the salmon with 1 tsp of each: garlic powder, dill weed, and salt and cook for 4 minutes on each side or until salmon is a light pink color and firm to the touch
4. While salmon is cooking, place mixed greens in a bowl, top with cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices
5. Remove potatoes from microwave and season with 1 tbsp of avocado oil, and 1 tsp of each: salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary inside the bag. Give the bag a good shake to evenly coat each potato.
6. Combine the salad, potatoes, and salmon on a plate, and pour dressing over the salad

I love this Pan Fried Salmon and Red Potatoes recipe because it has all the nutrients you need to keep you full for hours! It combines healthy fats from the salmon (not to mention the omega-3s) and avocado oil, it has fiber from the veggies, and the salmon is a great source of protein. All together this meal is perfect for healthy living and only takes 15 minutes to whip together!
