Raise your hand if you had a long week? We just threw our hands up in the air, did you? Good thing it’s Friday, which means it’s time to relax and unwind. Now don’t get us wrong, we love our jobs, but a person can only stare at an excel spreadsheet for so long before all the numbers start to get jumbled (ahh the life of a financial analyst). This salmon dinner was the perfect welcome to the weekend. It was quick, simple, and fresh. And being the finance girls that we are, we’ll throw out a number for you. Total cost per plate: $5.50. What a steal for a quality meal!
We grilled the salmon with fresh basil, tarragon, garlic, lemon slices, and black pepper. We made our plates colorful and served it with roasted beets and broccoli and our new favorite side SWEET POTATOES! This time we coated them with olive oil and paprika. So good! Our weekend is off to a fantastic start. Happy double dipping!
