Happy 2017! I hope everyone had a good celebration with family and friends and partied their way into the new year. Trevor and I rang in 2017 by fiddling with our TV antenna which decided to disconnect between numbers 8 and 7 in the countdown. In the last few seconds of 2016, we threw open our balcony door and relied on our neighbours above us to yell out “Happy New Year!” Did I also mention that I was hoarse and very congested with my second cold of the season? Not my finest way to ring in the new year, but that’s okay, I’ll still take it.<\/p>\n

After our returning from our recent trip to Mexico in December, we’ve been enjoying a pretty low-key January. I recently upgraded to a bigger slow cooker and we’ve taken a couple trips to the movie theatre (Moonlight<\/em>, Manchester by the Sea<\/em> & Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them<\/em> – love me some JK Rowling!). Other than that, it’s been a lot of hiding out from the cold and daydreaming about the warm, sunny weather and the beaches we left behind in Mexico.<\/p>\n

I’m sharing this One Pan Baked Salmon and Roasted Veggies recipe today as part of another Canadian Food Creatives collaboration. Since January is a popular month for organizing and eating healthier, the theme is Health Weeknight Dinners. As someone who has a Monday to Friday day job, I jumped at the chance to contribute because I’m always on the lookout for more easy dinner recipes to add to my regular rotation. Right now it’s still just Trevor and I and we’re pretty low maintenance, but it’s always good to have lots of ideas on hand. Especially because the alternative is ordering in and that can really take a toll on our wallets and our waistlines.<\/p>\n

Baked salmon, vegetables, and rice were a pretty standard meal throughout my childhood, but one of my favourite memories of eating lots of baked salmon was back when I was a university student with dorm kitchen and a limited budget. I had read somewhere in a health magazine that salmon was supposed to be good for helping people focus and for “boosting” memory. So twice a semester, I would buy a huge slab of fresh salmon at the grocery store, bake the whole thing and then live off the leftovers during my midterm and final exam weeks. Looking back now, I highly doubt consuming that much salmon did anything to help me to retain information during my exams, but it was really nice to have ready-made dinners during those stressful periods.<\/p>\n

Even though it’s been a while since I was in school, we still enjoy baked salmon on a regular basis. I still buy those giant slabs at the grocery store, but now I cut them into portions, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and foil and freeze them for future meals. During the week, I usually will pull one out in the morning, place it on a plate in the fridge to defrost while I’m at work and then it’s ready to go when I get home. If I really feel like planning ahead, I sometimes will even marinate the salmon in soy sauce, garlic, and brown sugar, but that’s another recipe for another day!<\/p>\n\t\t
