Salmon w/ Lemon and Parsley, Parmesan Potatoes

I can't believe I've gone pretty much the whole month of February without posting something. I guess I fell off the wagon. Well I'd like to think I'm back up there and I have a few recipes that I'll be sharing over the next few days. The first one, mentioned above, was dinner tonight. Really delicious and really healthy. Well, maybe not the potatoes. But still, delish.

For the salmon you will need:
2 - 6-8 oz. salmon fillets
1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
1 clove of garlic
1 tbsp fresh dill
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Put zest, garlic, dill and parsley, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until just combined, streaming in oil. Put the salmon into a greased glass oven safe dish. Spread the mixture from the food processor into the salmon. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cook the fish in a preheated 425 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. The fish will flake easily when done.

For the potatoes you will need:
1 pound red potatoes
2 tbsp butter
1/4 milk, warmed
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste


Cook the potatoes in boiling water until fork tender. Drain off the water.  Add the butter and milk and mash with a hand smasher to desired texture. Stir in the cheese and cover with aluminum foil until ready to eat. Season to taste.
