For starters maybe turn on some good music, poor yourself a glass of wine or sparkling water and allow yourself to create. I am not one to follow recipes EVER. In life in general I like to dance to my own tune. Since I know a lot of you really like the structure and ease of following a recipe I have added this new section on my blog to help inspire you and your journey in the kitchen:) Here you will find tons of quick and easy recipes that from start to finish never take more than 40 minutes total.
Roasted Lemon Tilapia with zuchini and mushrooms
Preparation: 5-10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
1 cup of Trader Joes quinoa
1 1/2 Zucchini's
2 cups of mushrooms
2 fillets of fish- in this one I used Tilapia, but you could do this with salmon or mahi
1 lemon
California Citrus Rub from Savory Spice Shop
Note: If you aren't a fan of quinoa you can substitute cous cous. It has a lot more natural flavor than Quinoa. I like to change it up every once and in awhile.
Fish:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
-Put fish on baking pan - I like to cover my baking pan with foil for easy clean up
-cut lemon in half - squeeze half lemon on each fillet
-sprinkle each fillet with California citrus rub on both sides
-Cook in oven for 10 minutes- after 5 minutes take out and flip over to other side
Veggies:
In large saucepan 1 tablespoon of Coconut oil or olive oil
I like to cook my veggies in coconut oil but you can certainly use olive oil if you don't have coconut oil.
-Slice zucchini into thin pieces
-Mix zucchini and mushrooms into sauce pan
-sprinkle with garlic powder, and pepper
-Sauté until cooked- I like mine to be soft but not mushy
-For every cup of quinoa use 1.5 cups water i-Cover when boiling and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the seeds turn fluffy. The cooked germ looks like a tiny curl.-Let stand for about 3 minutes to become fully fluffy
Happy Cooking!
