30-minute Mediterranean salmon

Because life is busy but we still want something flavorful on our plate.    Because salmon is a low calories dish that is nutritious and the whole family will enjoy it.  Yes, even the kids love it.

How about a meal in 30 minutes from the fridge to the table?  Tempting, right?  And I love saying that I am eating the 'right kind of fat.  Ah!

I didn't even have to marinate my salmon because of its freshness.  Buy Canadian Salmon, there are so good!  With the dish, I used fresh ingredients to enhance my piece of fish.

Some lemon, because citrus goes perfectly with salmon and some fresh veggies to add a little fruity taste to it with the pepper and the sweet tomatoes.  I didn't have any fresh herbs (Big sigh!) as it would have been my first choice.  So I used my Herbes de Provence which smells like home.  If you have any fresh herbs then go ahead and use them instead.  It's better.

The cooking is pretty quick, depending on your oven, adjust for 20 or 25 minutes.  You need to see a pink-flaky salmon.

TV Appearance

By the way, do you remember when I was mentioning that you would see me on W Network soon?  I posted, a little shy I must say, a link to the promotional ad available online.

I am so excited to tell you that MY day is October 21st on W Network at 9 pm!  Will you watch it?  I am really looking forward to it and at the same time I am so nervous, I've never been on TV.  It was an amazing experience.

I would love to chit-chat and tell you more about it but I will save that for after the airing. :)

I don't appear in this video so be sure to tune in on October 21st!  The beautiful host is Anne-Marie Withenshaw and the food critic is the intimidating Giles Coren.  Also, some celebrity chefs are there with us... Who was in my episode?  I'll let you discover that!

Also, follow me on Twitter (@bonappeteat), I will be most likely twitting live.

Back to my perfectly healthy, low calories AND loved by kids salmon...  Do you see that flaky fish?  Pair it with a nice salad, oven-roasted potatoes, or sauteed veggies.  The flavor is so powerful that you don't need to overdo it.  Just enjoy it!
