There are times when I try new things in the kitchen specifically with the hopes of creating something delicious and blog-worthy.  And then there are times when I want something healthy and delicious, but I need it pronto.  Just every now and then, those little gems find their way to blog-land.
Today, I’m happy to be sharing one of those recipes.  Grilled salmon fillets – cooked from frozen in just 15 minutes.
Somebody hold the phone.  Did I just say 15 minutes?  Yes, yes I did.  (And it was eaten in less than that.)
I keep individually wrapped frozen salmon fillets on hand for times when I need something quick and healthy for lunch.  I find I’m significantly more likely to cook and eat salmon this way rather than having a whole filet since Hubs doesn’t like seafood so I’m always cooking for one when I make this recipe.

 

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 salmon filet
  • 2 tsp  olive oil
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp basil
  • 1 pinch salt and black pepper
DIRECTIONS
  • Heat non-stick pan on medium heat
  • Rinse frozen salmon well in warm/hot water to remove any ice
  • Gently coat with olive oil and lemon juice
  • Place in heated pan
  • Cook for 7-8 minutes* on each side, sprinkling each side with 1/2 salt, pepper, and basil
Enjoy.  Preferably with kale chips for a lovely light lunch, but hat’s just how I like it.

*Cook time may vary based on the temp of your pan.  It’s important to make sure salmon filet isn’t frozen hard when you start cooking.  Test for done-ness (see above for the slit I cut in my filet to be sure it was done all the way through).  Don’t eat under cooked seafood.
