The meal shown in the picture has salmon and asparagus rolls, salad, fresh avocado, and my tomato flower.
This meal takes about 45 minutes to make and is a great, light, healthy meal.
You can use any type of fish, but I like to use salmon or tilapia for these.
Cut them into really thin slices. Mix together cream cheese and dill and spread that on the fish. Put in one or two asparagus spears (it is best to have boiled them for about 5 minutes beforehand). Roll the fish and secure with a toothpick. Add some lemon juice to the rolls and bake for about 20-30 minutes. You don't want to bake it for too long otherwise the fish will be flaky and won't hold.
In the salad I just add strawberries, grapes, any kind of green leafy vegetable, avocado, pecans, and sometimes I'll even add some precooked quinoa for a carbohydrate. Then add whatever dressing you might like. A citrus poppyseed combination pairs really well with the fish, dill, and cream cheese.
The tomato flower is actually really simple. I cut one tomato - not quite in half, I need one side to be bigger than the other. Then I spoon out the insides of both 'halves' to leave them open. I take scissors (yes scissors) and I cut out small triangular chunks out of the edges. I do this to both halves then put the smaller one inside of the bigger one. I then poke a hole (abt 2mm in diameter) through both, and I use sweet pepper, slices lengthwise, and put two or three in the hole.
That's my signature tomato flower plus my salmon rolls.
Without quinoa, this meal is #glutenfree
For the vegetarians out there who still eat fish, this is a very flavorful meal. And I am pretty sure that this fits into the #paleo diet as well. Correct me if I am wrong. :) I also found this meal very filling, and you can eat the embellishment ;).
Hope you enjoy :)
