I’m patting myself on the back for preparing another new recipe for my family! It’s always a weekly goal, but it seldom comes to fruition. If you’re not using Pinterest for recipes, you’re missing out, because today’s recipe and last week’s recipe have been total hits!
I knew that I only needed to have three meals prepared this week due to the Christmas holiday. I usually try to do a red meat dish once a week, then split the rest of the days between chicken and fish/seafood. Monday, I prepared Bolognese sauce with fettuccine, a side salad, and breadsticks. Since last week I prepared a dish with shrimp, I decided to try a salmon dish this week. To Pinterest I went and this simple, done in 20 minutes, glazed salmon was a gem.
The Chunky Chef’s Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon is one of the best salmon dishes that I have tried in a while. Just like the shrimp dish, this recipe is great for week nights, but it’s so flavor-packed and elevated, that you could easily prepare this for your guests this holiday season or anytime that you’re hosting–you will blow them away! I loved that it was no-fuss, and the ingredient list included a lot of items that I already had in my kitchen. Did I mention that it’s all prepared in one skillet?! Win-win-win!
The salmon was so tender, that my long filets practically fell apart as I moved them in the skillet. The honey garlic sauce was the perfect blend of sweet and savory.
I paired this entrée with Birds Eye Chicken Flavor Seasoned Rice and Vegetables side dish. Don’t let the chicken flavor fool you, trust me it pairs very well with the seasonings in the salmon. The rice dish includes carrots, broccoli, and onions. I also used their Steamfresh Whole Green Beans. Frozen vegetables often get a bad wrap, but they are actually packed full of nutrients in that they are flash-frozen at their peak; locking in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This post is not sponsored by Birds Eye; I just really like how easy it is to throw one of their Steamfresh bags in the microwave and have delicious sides in less than five minutes.
I hope that you’ll give this recipe a try. I know that I will be making it again very soon. Tell me what recipes you have tried in the kitchen this week that really blew you away?
