Baked Atlantic Salmon Fillet w/ Roasted Asparagus and Whole Grain Brown Rice

Dinner Tonight: Baked Atlantic Salmon Fillet w/ Roasted Asparagus and Whole Grain Brown Rice





Happy Memorial Day to all our Military Men currently serving and protecting our Country and to all the fallen heroes that lost their lives protecting our Country. It's been a cloudy one here, hot and humid with rain on and off. Had a grilled Ham, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich to start my day off with. So not much going on, did a little house cleaning inside and outside and that was about it. For dinner tonight I prepared a Baked Atlantic Salmon Fillet w/ Roasted Asparagus and Whole Grain Brown Rice.

I picked the Atlantic Wild Caught Salmon up at Kroger yesterday, they had some beautiful fillets! To prepare it I rubbed it with a light coat of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn and Dill. I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. Then got a small roasting pan and sprayed that with Pam Cooking Spray. Baked until it was fork tender, about 12 minutes. The Salmon was delicious! Very moist, fresh tasting, and seasoned just like I like it.





To go with the Salmon I prepared some Roasted Asparagus and Whole Grain Brown Rice. To

prepare the Asparagus  I just needed Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cloves Garlic (minced), Sea Salt, Freshly grated Black Peppercorn, Lemon Juice, and Shredded Parmesan Cheese. To prepare it; Rinse clean the asparagus. Break the tough ends off of the asparagus and discard. Lay the asparagus spears out in a single layer in a baking dish or a foil-covered roasting pan. Drizzle olive oil over the spears, roll the asparagus back and forth until they are all covered with a thin layer of olive oil. Sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub over the asparagus so that they are evenly seasoned. Place pan in the preheated 400 degree oven and roast for approximately 8-10 minutes, depending on how thick your asparagus spears are, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Drizzle with a little fresh lemon juice and shredded Parm Cheese before serving. I roasted these at the same time I was baking the Salmon.





Then for another side I prepared some Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Brown Ready Rice. Comes in a microwave ready pouch, just heat for 90 seconds and serve! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
