Salmon and Roasted Cherries


This has to be the best recipe I've come up with for fish, ever. It's that good. Even the husband loves it. Sorry for not having pics - my food pics just don't do the recipe justice.

Cherries are loaded with antioxidants and are also low carb and low GI. Salmon is loaded with omega-3s. It's a very PCOS-friendly recipe!

Salmon and Roasted Cherries
Servings - 2

Ingredients
2 salmon fillets
2/3 cup cherries, pitted and halved
juice of one lemon
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350. In small bowl, mix cherries, lemon juice, agave nectar, thyme and salt. Let sit 10 min so flavors can meld together. Place salmon fillets skin side down on a parchment paper or foil lined baking pan. Top salmon with cherry mixture. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon almost cooked. Switch oven to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes, just enough time to caramelize cherries. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Plate and enjoy!

Modifications/Variations - I also added some halved green grapes, but the flavor didn't come through, so you can leave them out. To add some crunch, toasted walnuts, pecans or pistachios would be yummy! To add some green into your dish, serve the fish and cherries over arugula, and drizzle the pan sauce as dressing!

My husband didn't eat fish at all until I started making it for him. Now he loves it, and he said this was "FANTASTIC!"

Food Allergy Test Results

I was in for a surprise when I got my food allergy test results this past Wednesday. For the few days prior, my thoughts were wrought with fear that I may be allergic to garlic or nuts. I even started designing my garlic and nut super-villain tattoos. Thankfully those weren't on my list. The shock came with the 29 other items on my list! Moderate allergies Baker’s and brewer's yeast Pineapple Vanilla White mushroom Sensitivities Broccoli Buttermilk Carrots Casein Celery Cilantro Cinnamon Cod Dates Iceberg lettuce Kiwi Lamb Millet Onion Oregano Parsley Plum Potato Raspberry Rosemary Sage Strawberry Swiss cheese Turkey I was upset to see so many yummy foods on the list, including my go-to meat, turkey, and some of my usual spices. I was glad to see celery and onions, though. I’ve detested them for years and I always get laughed at for hating onions. Now I have a legitimate reason for hating them! I can live with this list. Well, I...

What's Your Song? Thursday Link Up

This week has just been... rough. It started over the weekend. Mom and I spent a lot of time, money and effort in organizing my kitchen and cooking a ton of food. Sadly, cooking, as much as I love it, has become a major pain for me in the past couple of years, and even more so in the last 6 months. I have been dealing with a lot of back pain, and it is at the point where I cannot stand in one place for more than 10 minutes before I collapse in pain. And when I mean collapse, I'm not kidding. Knees hit the floor, tears start streaming down my face, and I lean on the object closest to me, hoping that the waves of pain along my spine will go away. Doctors have no idea what's wrong, x-rays don't show any problems, and the chiropractor claimed I had 4 pinched ligaments, but I can't afford to go to him twice a week to get adjustments (especially when the last time I went, I was in pain for a week afterwards). I did a lot of cooking while sitting down this weekend to ease the ...
