Lime Garlic Butter Salmon with Green Bean Salad
Summmmmer deliciousness!
I've been really trying to work more seafood into my diet because I become more and more bothered by red meat lately. With all the health benefits, and the fact that its my favorite type of protein, its worth the occasional splurge!
This recipe was so simple. I got some fresh green beans from a farm in Iowa, covered them in water and brought them to boil until they became bright green in color (about three minutes). Shock the beans in ice water and set aside. While cooking the beans, pre-heat your oven to 425 F.
Blend together a chunk of softened butter, a large splash of lime juice and some freshly ground pepper with chopped garlic. Spread this over your salmon filets and be sure to place foil between the filets and the pan. You don't want your fish sticking to the cookie sheet! Bake the salmon for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pieces flake apart very easily.
While the salmon is baking, combine minced shallots with a splash of red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Whisk in some salt & freshly ground pepper and you have a perfect dressing. Toss chilled green beans and romaine in the dressing.
Seemingly complicated, but makes a super healthy meal and reminded me of my Florida roots. So yummy! Happy eating,

Margherita Pizza
Time to make your own pizza!!
My one regret for this recipe? I bought Pillsburry pizza dough instead of making my own. I think it's worth the extra step (and the saved pennies) to make your own!

This recipe started out with homemade pesto. My mama made it (so I guess I cheated) but it contained her homegrown basil and lots of it, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Spread the pesto generously across your pizza dough then add in fresh mozzarella slices (its much better than shredded mozzarella from a bag), halved cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, freshly ground pepper and some grated parmesan. Easy as that!
I baked mine in the oven for about 10 minutes, brushing olive oil on the crust once or twice, wait to cool, and slice it up! This made great leftovers for lunch too. Delicious!
