Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots






For Breakfast I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, fried 2 Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea.

Good way to start off a cold morning. How cold is it you ask, 18 degrees! Wasted no time going out to grab the morning papers! Partly cloudy and 33 degrees for a high. Cleaned the oven and did some cleaning and straightening up of all the shelves and drawers in the Kitchen. Wish I could afford new cabinets but it's just not in the budget. For Dinner tonight I prepared Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots.







I purchased a package of North Atlantic Salmon, there was 2 small Fillets in the package. With the
Fillets being small I prepared both of them for Dinner tonight. To make them I'll need the Salmon, McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, Dried Parsley, and Extra Light Olive Oil.










To prepare them; I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. I then got a small baking pan and sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray. I washed the Fillets off in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel.Next I put a light coat of the Extra Light Olive Oil on them and then seasoned them. Lined the 2 Fillets in the pan and baked them. They were small Fillets so I only had to bake them for 8 minutes and they were done. They may be small but that was some excellent Salmon! Nicely Seasoned and flaky.





For one side to go with the Salmon I prepared a packet of the Minute Rice - Multi-Grain Medley.First time I've prepared this in a while. It has Brown Rice, Thai red Rice, Wild Rice, and Quinoa. Now

that’s a good combo of Grains! The box contains 4 – 2 Serving Packets and easy to prepare. Combine water and the contents of one bag in medium saucepan and stir. Add oil if desired. Or, if desired, to add more flavor, substitute broth, fruit or vegetable juice for water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 MINUTES or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Fluff with fork and serve! Easy to prepare and makes one excellent side dish.







I also heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced Carrots. Just empty the contents into a small sauce pan ,
bring it to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until heated through. For Dessert later a Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar.
