What a lovely day/weekend! For lunch today after the gym I decided to of course make my roasted veggies and then had maple glazed salmon.
Maple-glazed salmon
1/4c orange juice
1/4c maple syrup
2garlic cloves
3T balsamic vinegar
1T olive oil
Salt pepper
Line pan with foil. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Mix all but oil in kettle and bring to boil. Cook 5-6 minutes. Take off heat add oil. Brush you salmon with mixture. Broil 10 minutes basting throughout cooking. I put mine on a mix of arugula, spinach, strawberries, and feta! Drizzle with leftover sauce! Yummm this was soo satisfying and yumm! Hit the spot!
For dinner on this beautiful day I decided to heat up the grill. Kroger always has the chicken quarters on sale and they season them with bbq seasonings. So all I did was brush some extra bbq sauce on as they cooked and YUM!!
I also decided to make some side dishes! I went with Asparagus, cucumber salad, and corn bread! Lets start with the asparagus since this was easy. All i did was make a foil pocket, drizzle with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Threw it on the grill for 10 minutes and done! This was the best asparagus I have ever made!!! Next the cucumber salad stuff. All I did was slice the cucumbers, then in a separate bowl I mixed 1/4t red pepper flakes, 2 garlic cloves minced, 3T lime juice, 1/2t salt and pepper, jalapeno diced if you want (i didn't have any), fresh minced cilantro, 3T olive oil. Whisk it all up and pour over your cucumbers and refrigerate until your ready to eat! Corn bread was next! I made it home made and it was delicious, I couldn't stop eating it! All you do is take a 9in pie pan and spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400. Mix 1c cornmeal, 1c flour, 3-1/2t baking powder, 1/2c sugar and 1-2T honey, 1t salt, 1 egg, 1c milk, 1/3cup oil. Pour in pie dish and cook 25 minutes!! All of these dishes were good! The cucumbers did not really go with the dinner so we will eat these later, but they were very yummy and light!
