Healthy meals in 30 minutes

We are all busy me included. Many people often ask me, including my clients, how I cook every night. I rarely spend more than 30 minuted preparing a meal,  I am going to start to post my 30 minute meals which may inspire you to try cooking more!

Roasted cauliflower and new potatoes with wild salmon. 

 Variations: 

You can switch the cauliflower for broccoli or broccoli Rabe
Switch the salmon for quick cooking grass fed meat, thin steak or chicken breast that has been smashed thin.

Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients: 

  • 1/2 cauliflower chopped into florets
  • 1 cup of chopped new potatoes leave the skin on
  • 2 tablespoons of olive
  • 1 stick of rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon of slithered almonds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • Sea salt
  • 2 steaks of wild salmon
  • Salad of your choice 
  • 1/2 Lemon
Methods


  • Preheat oven to 400 f
  • Cut up the potatoes and the cauliflower into bite size bits put in a bowl
  • Add oil garlic, almonds and rosemary and salt to taste and toss together.
  • Line baking tray with foil
  • spread the cauliflower potato mixture on the tray and put in the over
  • Set the timer for 15 minutes and make a cup of tea!
  • After 15 min give the vegies a little shake to make sure they get evenly brown sometimes I skip this if I am busy in which case set the timer for 30 minutes.
  • 15 minutes before you want to eat get a skillet / frying pan out and put on a medium heat. Prepare a quick salad.  I like tomatoes, cucumber and baby spinach (as my kid like this and it is nutritious!) If you want to save time use a pre-washed salad mix. Dress with olive oil and lemon.
  • By now you should have 10 minutes before timer goes off. In the hot pan add a little olive oil and place salmon skin side down. Let it cook for 5 minutes until skin is crispy. Season with salt and pepper now if you wish. Flip and cook on other side for 5 minutes (NOTE: all salmon is not the same thickness so this may vary a little also depending on how you like it cooked.) Switch off heat and leave salmon in pan while you serve.
  • The timer on the vegies will have now gone off. Serve them and the salad so that 1/2 your plate is salad and 1/4 is roasted vegetables. Then serve the salmon and squeeze a bit of lemon over it.
