A couple weeks ago we bought some frozen Alaskan Salmon from Trader Joes. Paul pulled it out of the freezer on Friday morning and ask that I cook it for dinner (I was working from home due to the snow - even Boston will close for 12-14"). While working from the couch, I caught an episode of Ina Garten's cooking show Barefoot Contessa. I generally always love her recipes; they are simple & delicious while using natural ingredients. Anyways, she happened to be highlighting a roasted fish recipe and I it was so simple that I was able to make it for dinner. The trick was using parchment paper for the roasting, it keeps in all the flavoring and moisture. Paul's mom gives us rolls of over 250+ parchment paper sheets at a time...we use it for everything (we even line the refrigerator shelves with it!).
While it's pretty easy to follow, you can read the full recipe here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/herb-roasted-fish-recipe/index.html
I seasoned both with salt, pepper, and olive oil. I finished two with lemon juice and thyme (fresh is best but I didn't have any) and seasoned Paul's with lemon juice and soy sauce. I've been trying to avoid soy in my diet lately...which is hard since it is in everything!!
{to seal the paper, brush edges with a simple egg wash}
{start rolling from one corner and finish on the other end by folding the corner under}
{place in a baking sheet and cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes}
ta-da!
**and while some people may be skeeved out about eating fish while pregnant, I decided one serving of fish every now and then won't give the baby too much mercury. And it's way better than feeding the baby processed foods with additives and gmo's...in my humble opinion...ya just gotta do what you think is best!**
