This is great with some rice or quinoa. I also think it would make a great addition to a nice mixed salad. Sorry, no picture. We are making it again later this week, If I remember I will take and post a picture.

quick and easy broiled Tillapia:

I take thawed tillapia and slice up some lemon/lime wedges or both. Place the wedges on the pan. Take another wedge and squeeze onto the tillapia, you can also sprinkle some lemon pepper on the tillapia. Place the fish onto the wedges that are on your pan. Broil for 3 mins, turn fish on the other side and broil another 3-4 minutes until flaky.

When you take the fish out, you can use the lemon/lime wedges that are on the pan to squeeze again onto the fish. I do this because I like it real citrus-y but its your preference

Whole wheat spaghetti (I use Barilla Plus) with lemon, basil and salmon

This is really quick and easy!

1/2 pound whole-wheat spaghetti pasta
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (4-ounce) pieces salmon
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons capers
1 lemon, zested
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add the garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.

Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the fish to the pan and cook until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. Remove the salmon from the pan.

Add the basil, capers, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the spaghetti mixture and toss to combine. Set out 4 serving plates or shallow bowls. Place 1/2 cup spinach in each bowl. Top with 1/4 of the pasta. Top each mound of pasta with a piece of salmon. Serve immediately.

I made this the other night:

Herb Crusted Salmon

1 lb salmon fillet, cut into 3 or 4 equal pieces
4 oz fat free cream cheese
1 head garlic, roasted
2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 tsp sriracha chile sauce
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
salt and pepper

Preheat Broiler if necessary. Combine all ingredients except the fish in a bowl. Whisk until roasted garlic is completely blended in. Place the salmon on a lightly greased iron skillet, or similar cooking utensil that can go from stove to oven (a small cookie pan should work too) and salt and pepper the fish lightly. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the top and down the sides of each piece of salmon. Move to burner on medium heat, and cook for 1 minute after fish starts sizzling. Place fish about 8 inches from broiler and broil until cream cheese starts to brown, about 4-6 minutes. Watch it closely! it will brown fast.

If you think cutting it into fourths would make the servings too small, cut it into thirds.
