Healthy Dinner:Salmon On A Mushroom & Spinach Bed With A Mango Salsa Salad

Happy Thursday All,

Hope everyone had a lovely day today.

I get really excited about dinner just as much as I get excited about my smoothies along  with a whole lot of other things that I won't mention on here ... *chuckles*

I love to browse the web and search for healthy ingredients that consists of the contents of my fridge as I have lot of things in my fridge...fruits, veggies you name it I got it :-)

So I came across this lovely hearty belly filling dinner and thought... YES that's what I am having. 

So let's get started....

Ingredients 

bell peppers ( Red & Yellow)

coriander

cherry tomatoes

red onion

salmon

spinach

lime

mango chunks

mushrooms

olive oil 

seasonings

For the Mango Salsa Side Salad

dice the onions, bell peppers, mango slices and place in a clean bowl
chop some coriander leaves finely, add to the mix with black pepper, a pinch of salt and olive oil

mix well and place in the fridge

For the Salmon

preheat the oven and oil your baking tray or foil

remove from package and clean gently with some white vinegar

season with some salt and black pepper

place in the oven for 25-35mins until it's cooked and nicely done

I like my salmon nice and brown

Chicken Fillet, Couscous & Vegetables

Hello Food Lovers,

I hope you've all had a lovely day and the sun is shinning wherever you are?

I can't boast of a lovely weather here as the sunshine has disappeared again and the torrential rain is back :-(

I have another healthy dinner choice for you today.

You've probably noticed that I love couscous, well what's not to like?

Couscous provides you with essential nutrients to help maintain your overall health. It's light, delicious and can be eaten as a side dish or dessert.


You can buy the already made couscous from the salad bar in the supermarket or buy the dry grains in a packet as shown below. I prefer to buy the dry grains and add a few other bits to it such as mushrooms, onions, sweetcorn, olives and bell peppers.

Couscous has been a great alternative to rice and pasta for me.
