Leave a comment

I just love these crispy herb crusted salmon fillets, not only are they super delicious there also super healthy for you and easy to make. 

That is why I love home cooking, because you can make healthy home cooked meals from scratch.

Such as this tasty fish and feel satisfied knowing exactly what is going into your meal.

I used to occasional buy those pre boxed fish, you know what I’m talking about?

Those frozen battered kinds in the freezer section at every grocery store. 

Well those days are over.., and i think if you try this recipe. You will feel the same way too!

Even though I am a food blogger, I can admit that their is some recipes that do intimate me. 

And i guess it is because I have never tried to make them. But being a food blogger I get to have a few trial and errors before I share my winning recipe with you all.

And that is how this recipe, came to be. 

Over the years though, I have developed much more confidence to tackle almost any type of recipes. Such as homemade breaded fish!

Doesn’t this look 100% better than any store bought or boxed breaded fish?

And so much healthier too I bet. 

HOW TO BREAD FISH

It’s as simple as emptying 1 package of extra crispy shake and bake into a shallow bowl.

Along with 1 cup of panko bread crumbs, brown sugar and seasonings.

Then coat the salmon fillets before baking at 400 degrees f for 15 minutes then that is it. 

This super flaky and moist salmon dinner is ready to be served with your favorite vegetable such as sauteed kale and a fresh lemon wedge of course.

 

This is the kind of shake n bake that I use for this recipe!

Place onto a non stick pan and your good to GO!

Serve alongside your favorite vegetable and you will will have one healthy and tasty meal!

You can’t go wrong with this simple yet flavorful dish that is sure to make you a salmon lover for life. 

As with any of my recipes, you can adjust the serving size above to reflect the number of people you are cooking for.

Roasted Parmesan Cauliflower

Super easy side dish to make for a family of four or a larger crowd. 

And oh so delicious, if you have never had roasted cauliflower then you are going to literally be blown away. Baking cauliflower like this brings out all the flavors and adding garlic and parmesan cheese steps it up just one more notch.

Forget boiling water and making this vegetable the old boring way, simply wash and cut up your head of cauliflower, lay out on a non stick baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. That’s it! Bake for … and your side dish is ready.

Note: You can sprinkle with a dried little parsley afterwards if desired.

Parmesan Crusted Green Beans

This is a simple dish that can feed a crowd easily, you can use fresh green beans or frozen for this recipe. If you are using frozen, make sure to defrost them prior to placing in the oven. Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables, especially in the summer.  We often pick up bunches from the local farmers market, and prepare them with a little butter and seasonings. I thought why not try something different, and then my new favorite way to eat green beans came about.  These roasted green beans are excellent served as a side dish that is perfect for any holiday meal or any meal rather. The panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese give these greens something extra special, you might even see the little ones asking for more. Yup they’re that good, crispy and cheesy on the the outside with a tender sweet center. Who ever thought green beans could be the highlight of a meal. Enjoy!

Kitchen Essentials:

 

When green beans are not in season, I like to use the frozen kind for this recipe!

 

To make the parmesan crusted green beans:

  1. Wash and dry your green beans and pat dry.
  2. Place them in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and garlic powder.
  3. Drizzle olive oil overtop and mix in your panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
  4. Pre-heat your oven to 4oo degrees and place your green beans on the middle baking rack.
  5. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. and then turn once.
  6. Return to oven to bake another 10 minutes.
  7. Serve warm, enjoy!

 

Note:  You can serve them with lemon squeezed over top also.

What do I have to do to get the Canadian Cooking Adventures team to eat their beans? Simple bake them in cheese 🙂 of course.

Parmesan Roasted Carrots

Leave a comment

I just love carrots, but that wasn’t always the case. I guess it’s because I grew up eating them the wrong way, boiled and tossed in butter after. Boring! 

So there was a time that I hated carrots, so much so that I never bought them in my adult years at all.

But I knew I had to find a way to eat them since they’re packed with beta-carotene a vitamin that is very important to have in your diet according to the eye doctors.

Not to mention the fiber along vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, vitamin B8, folate, potassium, iron, copper, and manganese, proves just how important it is to get this vitamin rich food in your diet as much as possible.

This recipe is super simple, you don’t even have to peel the carrots if you don’t want too. However if you decide to, they can be a good thing to add to your dog’s next meal.

To make this simple side, you will want to wash the carrots well then chop off the ends, and lay them out on a non stick pan.

Drizzle all over with olive oil and a few tsp of butter, along with thyme, basil and oregano and parmesan cheese then let your oven do it’s thing. Serve as a side dish to any meal, goes great during the holidays too! 

If you are peeling your carrots, then don’t waste those Nutritious peels, save them and top your dogs next meal with them for a couple of days of added nutrition!! Carrot peels contain an excellent source of Fiber and Vitamins. Read more about the benefits here Benefits Of Carrots For Your Dog
