delicious salmon recipes {even if you hate it!}

I’m on Day 3 of Tracy Anderson’s 30 Day Method, and I have been trying and mostly loving all the recipes so far!  
This is kind of a big deal for me, because I do not have an adventurous palette.  
I like plain, plain, and more plain mixed with anything that’s on a kid’s menu. 
yum yum! 
So, you can only imagine my surprise when todays menu included a TON of salmon, and woah,
stop {hold?} the presses…
I freaking loved it.
Okay, so maybe not loved, but I LIKED an awful lot.  
Still, if I was presented with that or a plain cheeseburger, I may still choose what’s near and dear.  
But, like my sister said, it’s all about the baby steps.
Anyway, because I adored these recipes so much, I decided I would be a dear and share them with the world.  
You can thank me in cash.  
Or jewelry.  
Or, even, cute clothes.  
In other words, your welcome.

Orange Glazed Salmon 
{makes 1 serving}:
1 6 oz. salmon filet, skin removed
Juice of 2 oranges
2 tablespoons yacon syrup (or honey)
Olive oil spray
2 sprigs thyme, chopped
1/2 cup vegetable stock
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Marinate the salmon the in the orange juice and syrup for 15 minutes.  Warm an ovenproof saute pan and coat it with olive oil spray.  Sear the salmon and cook it over medium heat for 2 minutes.  Add the thyme, place the pan in the oven, and roast for an additional 4 minutes.  (Do not turn the salmon over.)
Plate the cooked salmon.  Move the pan to the stove over low hear.  Carefully and slowly, add the vegetable stock to the pan, reduce the liquid to a syrupy consistency, and drizzle over the salmon.

I can’t believe, for one: I just posted recipes on my blog, and for two: it included salmon.
I’m kind of a big girl now.

  2. I used to be like that too. Then I met my husband…

    In the 5 years we’ve been together, I’ve tried more “new” foods and liked a great majority of them, than I had the 18 years before!

    The salmon recipes sound yummy. We’ll have to give them a try {Hubby loves fish}.

    And good luck on the 30 Day Method!
