baked salmon & mixed veggies.

last night travis and i were ready for dinner, but decided it would be better for our budget if we could make ourselves stay in and eat what we had at home. i pulled a couple of salmon filets from the freezer, a package of steamfresh mixed veggies {broccoli, cauliflower, carrots}, and the carton of cottage cheese.

i didn't really have any lemons or lemon-pepper seasoning, so i wasn't sure what to do with the salmon. i melted a half-stick of butter {i believe that's 1/4 cup} in the microwave. i poured half of it into a small, square baking dish. across the top of the butter i sprinkled garlic salt and sea salt.

i thawed the salmon filets and then added them to the pan. i poured the remaining butter over the top of both filets, added a little more garlic salt, and then black pepper. i put them in the over to bake for about 7 minutes at 375.

while the salmon was baking, i started the steamfresh veggies in the microwave. the food was all ready around the same time. i added a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese to the veggies and mixed them all well.

i wish i would have taken a picture. the pink salmon, the colorful veggies, and the cottage cheese in clear ramekins looked so festive and tasted absolutely yummy.
