something fishy

We enjoyed fish twice for dinner this week! Fish is SO great for you! Full of lean protein and healthy fats.

We had fun with cod and trout and here's how:

For the trout we were going to put it on the BBQ, but at the last minute we ran out of fuel so into the frying pan it went with some seasoning.

On the side I made some couscous and mixed in toasted sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, sautéed onions and spinach, salt, pepper and a dash of olive oil. I served a big scoop of it on a halved avocado.

For the Cod we used the same pan fry method but added a kick to the flavour with hot pepper flakes.

We served it up on a whole grain bun with a creamy coleslaw.

On the side I made a quick Greek Salad with tasty baby cucumbers, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, olives and feta dressing.

There you go! Two great ways to have fish for dinner!

skate date and movie night

Thursday nights are movie nights! I packed my night with a few more fun activities!

Before heading out the BF and I enjoyed a light and healthy meal. I placed a a fillet of cod on a bed of spinach and topped it with lemon slices, salt, pepper, capers and olive oil. The tin foil parcels baked in the oven for about 35 minutes at 425 degrees.

 

We enjoyed our fish with a side of steamed brussel sprouts with toasted sunflower seeds.

After dinner I got dropped off at the Ottawa Canal for a good 40 minute skate with our friend Matt.

Matt has the mad skills on the skates. Darn hockey...

Then it was off to movie night where I ate way too many brownie cookies (warm and gooey out of the oven! Thanks John and Meg!) and a perfectly hot mug of hot chocolate with my request of "lots" of marshmallows. Picture the cookies dipped in the hot chocolate... heaven.

Happy Friday everyone!
