2 Minute Dinner: Salmon

One of my first favorite cooking shows was Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals. It debunked the idea that a home cooked meal needed to be a long, arduous process. Still, sometimes I don't have 30 minutes. Actually, this is about energy. There are days when I come home from work and I barely have 10 minutes of energy. This is when a two minute meal saves the day.

This is a literal title. It will take you less than two minutes to prep this dinner--the cooking time is more. I suppose I could work on a two minute salad, but today we're having salmon with all of its omega-3 benefits.

Ingredients & Tools

• 2 salmon fillets
• Dijon mustard
• breadcrumbs
• Kosher salt
• pepper
• aluminium foil
• baking dish

Preheat your oven to 400. The fish will be prepared before the oven even reaches temperature. Drink wine while you wait.

Measurements in this recipe are loose at best. You could also easily increase the number of fillets to feed a larger crowd.

Make clean-up less than two minutes and line your baking dish with aluminum foil. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and give each fillet a generous coating of Dijon mustard.

Sprinkle the fish with bread crumbs. I used the kind with Italian seasonings.

 

That's it! Bake in the 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.

We had this with avocado and Wonder Bread, but you could easily grill up some vegetables while the fish is cooking.
