A healthy Salmon, Potato and Fruit Salad evening meal For Two habitancy (Low on Calories, High on Nutrients)

The menu tonight is grilled salmon fillets, parsley potatoes, fresh fruit salad, and lemonade sweetened with stevia. The dinner is designed for 2 citizen but obviously the fruit salad would be four or more servings, so the leftover is chilled and kept in the refrigerator for serving at a later time.

Grilled Salmon Fillets
Two icy wild caught salmon fillets (about 2 ounces each) were thawed then patted dry with paper towels.
A soup bowl with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil was set up for coating the fillets.
Next to the soup bowl was about 1/4 cup flour on a dinner plate.
Both salmon fillets were seasoned on each side with lemon pepper.
The fillets were then dipped in olive oil to coat, then dredged with the flour.
A cast iron griddle was heated on high, then 2 tablespoons of olive oil was added.
When the oil was hot the fish fillets were placed on the grill without any shaking or sharp with a spatula.
After about 2 minutes (or when a visual inspection showed the fillets were about half cooked) they were flipped over.
After an additional one 2 minutes or so the browned fillets were transferred to serving plates.

Dried Fruit

Parsley Potatoes
Two medium sized potatoes were peeled and diced to 1/2 inch cubes.
The potatoes were then added to a saucepan with about 1 qt boiling, salted water.
After about 15 minutes when potatoes cubes were tender, they were drained straight through a colander.
About 1 tbsp of butter was added to the top and then about 2 tablespoons of dried parsley was sprinkled over the top.
The potatoes were then transferred to a serving dish.

Lemonade
1/4 cup of lemon juice was added to a 1 gallon pitcher along with 1 tablespoon of Stevia, then the pitcher was filled with
distilled water. (filtered water could be supplanted if you prefer)

Fresh Fruit Salad
One fresh pineapple was cut in half, lengthwise and then the tough core removed with a knife.

The brown skin part was then cut off all colse to along with the top and lowest and the pineapple was diced into 1 1/2 inch cubes.

1 pint of blueberries, the insides of an orange (diced), 4 kiwi fruits, peeled and thinly sliced, 1 apple peeled, cored, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes, along with 1 large pear, done the same way, and 1 banana, peeled and sliced were all added to a large salad bowl and tossed by hand.

This simple meal was prepared in about 25 minutes and it was delicious.

Betty's Baked Potato Fans Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make beautiful and tasty Baked Potato Fans. These are whole baking potatoes that have been peeled and cut into slices (almost to the bottom), then drizzled with butter, sprinkled with salt, topped with a glorious blend of herbs and cheeses and baked in the oven.

Ingredients: 2 medium baking potatoes ½ teaspoon salt 1 ½ tablespoons butter or margarine, melted 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs (I used parsley, chives, thyme, and sage. You may use any or all of these. If you used dried herbs, use only 1 teaspoon altogether.) 2 tablespoons finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon finely grated Romano or Parmesan cheese (I use Italian Peccorino Romano cheese.) cooking oil spray Wash and peel potatoes. Keep covered with water until ready to use. When ready to assemble recipe, dry the potatoes with a paper towel. Cut potatoes into thin slices, but not all the way through.

Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with butter or margarine. Sprinkle with herbs. Bake potatoes at 425 degrees for about 50 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheeses.
