Wild Alaskan Salmon Steaks w/ Oven Roasted Asparagus & Salad

 Celebrities starring in Wild Alaskan Salmon Steaks:

Garlic Powder (Brad Pitt)
Ground course salt (Ann Hathaway)
Cracked Pepper (Leonardo Decaprio)
Olive Oil (Meg Ryan)
Two Salmon Steaks (Tom Cruise)
 Hey! 
Don't judge me.

It's my movie, not yours! And yes, Meg Ryan is in this movie.
You could easily make your own version of this movie. 
You can add your own celebrities (ingredients) and snaz it up a bit to your liking. 

Do what makes you happy!

What makes me happy is preheating the oven to 350. Taking two salmon steaks and placing them on a large piece of foil. Adding salt, pepper, garlic powder and drizzling them with olive oil generously on both sides. Then baking them for about 20 minutes until cooked through. How hard is that?

Not at all. 

Totally easy and rewarding because with all of those celebrities, this fish is delicious!

 Now let's talk about asparagus. There are several ways to cook asparagus, but a new favorite way of mine is to simply arrange them on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven.

Once again, you can kind of do your own thing here with spices, etc. 
But I like to cover a baking sheet in foil, add salt, pepper, and olive oil to coat them. Then bake in the oven at 350 for about 12-15 minutes or until a fork goes into them easily. 
 And the great thing about these asparagus with the fish is that you can cook them both at the same time in the oven! Double whammy! 
Whip up a couple of salads with your favorite veggies. 
 I usually choose lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, olives, & feta cheese drizzled with a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Can't go wrong there!
And tada! A delicious dinner awaits!  
If you make this for someone else, you can easily wrap it up and stick it in the fridge. Tastes just as good warmed up later.

Lots of love and happy cooking to you! Hoping this healthy, simple meal gives you some inspiration.
