Quickie Dinner and a Movie
It’s officially the holidays. Making up lists and checking them twice. I give presents for naughty, rather than nice. But that’s not a surprise it it?
It’s a busy time of year, and when it gets busy I get lazy on preparing my own food…it’s sooooo much easier to grab something on the go or order take-out. But, since I am trying to eat healthily this week I made a super-quick dinner that included salmon and broccoli rabe. Doesn’t get much healthier, right? And I need something quick because I had a movie date at 8:15 to see Rachel Getting Married (which by the way is EXTREMELY dark and filled me with anxiety…in a good movie kind of way…highly recommended!)
For Salmon: Mix together mayo, Dijon mustard, dashes hot pepper sauce, chopped garlic, chopped chives, and chopped tarragon. Salt and pepper to taste. Place salmon in a baking dish skin down and cover with mayo mixture. Drizzle with a little honey. Bake at 350 for about 12-15 minutes.
For Broccoli Rabe: Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli rabe to boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and then cool. While cooling, in a skillet melt butter, then add 2 cloves chopped garlic and a handful of chopped walnuts. Cook over medium high heat until butter is browned. Add broccoli rabe to skillet and cook for and additional 5-8 minutes.
Serve salmon and broccoli together. Winner, winner deliciously quick dinner!
