"As We Continue the Fifth Week of Lenten Season"

Hmm..... The grill is out of propane so for now I'm going to cook as much as I could in the oven....  This wonderful dish came to mind ............ I had a delicious fresh piece of Salmon that I placed in my corning ware with four  medium size potatoes.  Luckily, the pound and a half of boneless salmon and the four potatoes miraculously cooked in the same amount of time.
Yesterday, I cooked up a batch of shrimp; dipped them in egg and flour, then fried in olive oil till they were golden.  Tonight, I used the remainder of this dish as my side.  My children loved it!
Prep Time -- 15 minutes
Cook Time -- 1/2 hour
One 1.5 lb boneless salmon
Four medium size potatoes
Romaine Lettuce
Place the potato and the salmon in corning ware and drizzle a very small amount of olive oil over the salmon.  I used cooking butter spray to lightly coat my potatoes.  Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and onion powder over the salmon and place in the oven.  Tonight my taste buds didn't care for the parsley or any other herb; so, to keep the dish light, I eliminated the herb.


Cooked in the oven for 30 minutes on 350 degrees.  Hint -- I turned the oven OFF after 20 minutes but kept the dish in the oven for an extra 10 so this way to serve while still nice and warm.


Once I removed the dish from the oven I squeezed a half a lemon and a half of lime over the salmon.  I placed the potatoes in a separate bowl, sliced them in half and used one teaspoon of salted butter over each potato.


Cut up the romaine lettuce, drizzle olive oil, apple cider vinegar, onion salt and black pepper and your done!  It was delicious and healthy.


No desert tonight, but I brewd a delicious cup of chai tea, and added a slice of lime and a slice of orange!  As Rachel Ray would say, "It was Delish!!"  Have a great night and God Bless!

The reason for observing Friday as a day of penance (abstinence) should be fairly obvious. It was the day of Christ's death.   Retrieved from: http://www.catholicforum.com/forums/printthread.php?t=311 on March 14, 2012
