Hey everyone, I'm a day early this time since I have something scheduled for tomorrow. :) So, I thought it would be cool to post some recipes I had
found online. I’m going to *try* to do some of these beforehand, but I’m sure
there’ll be times I won't. I'm going to call this Finicky Friday. :)
MOROCCAN SPICED SALMON
Didn't plan ahead? Fish cooks quickly, so it can be
ready for lunch or dinner even when you don't get a head start. Salmon is
brimming with omega-3 fats, the kind that tamp down inflammation and
play a role in joint and muscle pain. Omega-3s also get kudos for helping
reduce the risk of heart disease.
This zesty, no-carb dish gets its zip from cumin,
coriander, and turmeric: spices with antioxidant properties that protect your
cells from everyday damage. No salmon? Halibut and cod fillets work
just fine. Marinate the fish the night before or in the morning.
Ingredients
4 cloves minced garlic
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 12-oz salmon fillets
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Directions
Put the marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag,
then place the fish in the bag, making sure that the marinade coats both sides
of the fish. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
Add 2 tbsp water to the slow cooker. Cover and cook
2 hours on low. When done, let the fish sit, uncovered, for 5 minutes before
serving.
Use a spatula to remove the fish from the slow
cooker and transfer to a plate. Gently remove any bones from the fish.
To serve, divide the fish between plates, serve it
on top of couscous or rice, and garnish each portion with cilantro.
