10 Minute Meals: Salmon Patty with Spinach and Sweet Potato

                                         

Super simple, super clean AND super yummy dinner idea!  Grilled salmon patty over a bed of sauteed spinach and sweet potato!  Takes about 10 minutes to cook it all! Here's the recipe!

Ingredients

1 sweet potato

1 handful of fresh spinach

1 salmon burger

1.  Wash the sweet potato and poke it with a fork several times.

2.  Wrap it in a paper towel, without drying it off after washing it, and place it in the microwave. 

3. Most microwaves have a baked potato setting. If yours does, press it and press 1 for 1 potato unless you're making multiple at a time.  

4.  While the sweet potato cooks, take out a skillet and spray it with coconut or olive oil. 

5.  Grill it on a skillet for 5  minutes on each side.  Set aside.  

6.  Spray the pan with coconut or olive oil and cook the spinach for about 5 minutes, mixing it around as you cook it.  

7.  Serve all on a plate and ENJOY! This recipe is for one but you can easily make this for a family of 4 in just as much time.  

Roasted Acorn Squash & Eggplant: A Delicious, Clean, Paleo Friendly Side

I love roasted veggies and these 2 are one of my faves. So easy to make and they take very little prep. I make them to snack on but also as a side dish. Below are the recipes for both. You can prep and cook them together as long as you cut them the same thickness. Before you begin, preheat the oven to 375.

Eggplant
Slice the egg plant, cutting off each end, into slices about 1/2 inch thick.

Place them in a Tupperware container and marinate for a few minutes in balsamic vinegar, splash of lime & your favorite seasoning.

Set aside.

Acorn Squash
Slice the acorn squash, cutting off the top first, into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Once you see the inside, scoop out the "guts" as I call them. The seeds and lose interior. Continue slicing until you've sliced the entire squash. 

Spray a cookie sheet or a baking rack on top of a cookie sheet with olive oil or any non stick spray. Place the acorn squash on top. Then sprinkle lightly with your favorite seasoning and I also like to add a little parmessan cheese. Then place the eggplant on the sheet or rack and bake for about 30 minutes or until they're golden brown.  I like to use a baking rack so I get the grill marks and it resembles BBQ roasting vs oven baking but both are fine and turn out just as yummy! Hope you enjoy them! I make these every week!
