Easiest Meal EVER: Habanero Pear Salmon + Steamed Veggies

Sorry I’ve been absent. I had a few health setbacks over the past week (over the past few months actually). Including an emergency procedure that was NOT in the least pleasant. I’ve been recovering from that, and as a result, I’ve been put on a high fiber diet. So this week I’ll be featuring some meals that are high in fiber.

Sunday night I was finally feeling up to moving around, so I went to the grocery store. I’ve actually started looking forward to my grocery store trips, thanks to the wonderful Elana. (Yes, she’s available for hire!). I also found a great grocery store app for my iPad, since if you make anything techy, I’ll like it. It’s called GroceryIQ. It’s free. Search for it in the app store.

I hadn’t been feeling well for a week and didn’t feel like thinking too much, so I got the pre-seasoned fish from the new Montrose HEB (loves it!). I choose a habanero + pear salmon. OK, so I cheated a little, but sometimes you just need a shortcut, am I right?

For veggies, I got a bag of baby carrots, one broccoli stalk, snap peas, and some mushrooms I already had at home. I cut it all up and threw it in the steamer. I sprinkled them with lemon pepper seasoning Seriously the easier thing I’ve ever cooked. I finally got a chance to try out my new steamer that Joey got me for Christmas. Why didn’t I steam veggies before this?

For the fish, I used the foil packets that Elana taught me about, and it worked like a charm. A really yummy, fishy charm.

Joey got a side of Mac-n-Cheese for playing along with my cooking adventures.

I love that you guys are sharing your favorite recipes with me! Keep ‘em coming!
