Easy Baked Salmon

Do NOT use farmed salmon!

Ingredients:

  • 1 salmon filet – about a pound
  • 2 – 4 T fresh herbs, chopped (thyme or dill is nice, but anything you like is probably good)
  • 1/2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp salt (a bit more if kosher, or if fish is skinned) 1 tsp olive oil

Preparation:

  • Heat the oven to 200 F.
  • Chop up the herb, and mix it with the salt and pepper. I happen to have lemon thyme in my garden, and it is my favorite for fish, but regular thyme or any herb you like works fine — even parsley. If you want to use more, that’s fine
  • Smear the oil on an oven-proof serving platter, and put the fish on top. If the filet is skinned, put some salt and pepper on both sides, otherwise just put the fish skin side down and herbs the top. 4. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, until salmon flakes. You won’t believe how good it is.

Grilled Grass Fed Beef Steaks

Salt your meat ahead of time. A day or two ahead if you remember but a minimum of 30 minutes if you don’t. Always bring your grass fed steaks up to cool room temperature before cooking. That means taking them out of the fridge 45 minutes to an hour before you cook them. If your steaks are thin (less than 1 inch thick) sear them on a hot greased grill or grill pan for about 2-3 minutes on each side undisturbed. Grass fed steaks are very lean so you have to eat them rare or medium rare or they’ll become very tough. You should aim for an internal temperature of 125F (medium rare). If you cook the steaks in a pan or on a grill, you must let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes before serving it.


Mini Frittata Mushroom Muffins (recipe from Nom Nom Paleo Blog)

Ingredients:

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of coconut oil
  • 1 pound of mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 bag of broccoli slaw from Trader Joe’s
    1 pound of grass fed ground beef
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of curry powder
  • coconut oil spray
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 20 large eggs
  • 5-6 tablespoons of coconut flour (optional, see note above)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F and I start chopping and slicing the veggies.
  • Heat up the coconut oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Once the pan is hot, throw in the onions with some salt and pepper and sautee them until they are soft and translucent. Next add the mushrooms, more salt and pepper and cook them till the liquid evaporates.
  • Toss in the ground beef and cook it until it’s no longer pink. Season the meat mixture with the curry powder and add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Then add the bag of broccoli slaw and stir that around until the slaw is softened. In the meantime put cupcake liners in the cupcake tins. Once the liners are in the tins spray them with coconut oil spray.
  • If you coat the liners with oil, the muffins won’t stick as much to the paper. (Or you can skip this part and use silicone backing cups)
  • Next, divide the filling into each muffin liner. Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk in the coconut milk and a healthy sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the egg mixture into the muffin tins, making sure the liquid only reaches 3/4 of the way to the top.
  • The muffins puff up during cooking so you don’t want to fill them to the brim. Put the trays into the oven for 15 minutes and then rotate the trays and bake them for 6 additional minutes.
  • You know the muffins are done when they rise up to the top and they are springy to the touch when you pat the surface. Let the muffins sit in the pan for a few minutes and then cool them on a wire rack.
  • These muffins can be served warm, room temperature, or cold right out of the fridge.
