Grilled Salmon with Roasted Veggies

On days when you want flavor, variety, not spend too much time cooking and with all that you want a dish that everyone in your family enjoys. This is a dish when you serve your kids a super healthy meal without compromising on taste.

Salmon is our family favorite. Any day, any time, school day, home day, dinner, Lunch, friends, Salmon is my go to dish. I believe once I knew how to make it correctly, there was no looking elsewhere. Its amazing how kids just grasp so many flavors from you and you just know if you like something, they would like it too. When the grilled/pan fried Salmon makes it to my kids lunchboxes, it just doesn’t excite them, but their school friends too. I always have their friends requesting for certain dishes on play dates and Salmon happens to be one of them.

Jokes apart, we are a family who love seafood and a lot of that comes from my Father in law [May his soul rest in peace]. Mr. Parveez gets his seafood freshness checking skills from his father. He tells me stories of how his Abba would take him along to the fish market and teach him how to find if the fish is fresh or old. So, using those awesome skills he always makes sure we get the fresh catch and as much as I always tell people that frozen fish can be used, there is nothing better than fresh ones. You will know once you try it.

So, this day when we planned on having grilled Salmon, the option of making tortillas at home along with Rice and beans is always better than getting store bought Tortillas. Though usually tortillas and Rice make you very full, but it wasn’t one of those days where we wanted to fill up. One look to my veggies in the pantry, the carrots, sweet potato and bell peppers, all just looked to good to say no to. I might sound funny to you while you read this, but the fact is some days veggies seem like the best option with your protein and its actually a very good one too, and you feel lucky to have your kids gobble down those veggies.

So, if you are a mom like me, who has those days where 30 minutes is all your gang gives and you want to make something flavorful, healthy and filling, this is it!! Enjoy!!!

Instructions

1. Marinate the salmon fillets with garlic powder, lemon juice, black pepper, salt, turmeric powder and dry parsley. Keep aside for 15 mins. Heat a pan and add some oil. Add the marinated salmon to it and cook on medium flame for around 10 minutes, each side or till the salmon is cooked and has a crunchy exterior.

   
2. Take all the chopped veggies and spray them with some oil and sprinkle some salt and pepper and leave them in a preheated oven at 300 F for 20-30 minutes.

   
3. When you are done boiling the rice, add the canned beans to it and add some salt and dry parsley to it. You could also add a small pinch of curry powder to it, though its completely optional.

   
4. Warm up the tortillas. I made mine fresh at home and if interested, you could check the website to see the method of making your own.

   
5. Serve it all together with sour cream, lemon, onions and a sauce of your choice . It can be made in to a roll or eaten without the tortilla.

   
6. This dish is easy, healthy and is an absolute hit with friends. ENJOY!!! The dish can have loads of modifications. For more choices, contact me.
