quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

Salmon with white wine and dill sauce. Serves 2

2 6- 8 oz salmon fillets. I go to the fish person in the super market and tell him/her I want 2 fillets about 1 ½ inches wide (I hold up my fingers to show him how wide to cut it) cut from the center of the big piece of salmon you always see on display.

About ¾ cup of white wine
1 lemon or lime sliced up
1 Tbsp. dried dill
salt and pepper to taste
6-8 pats of butter

For the carbs tonight I’m going to recommend 2 sweet potatoes in the micro wave for about 8-10 minutes or until soft. Split lengthwise and put a pat of butter in. I then grind s little pepper in also. for a salad tonight, I’m going with sliced tomatoes and onions with olive oil and vinegar and ground pepper and dried basil and grated parmesan.


Put a frying pan on med high with enough olive oil to cover the bottom plus a little bit. Dredge the salmon in flour and cook in the pan about 4-6 minutes a side or until flaky. Remove from the heat and set aside. Put the slices of lemon in the oil left in the pan with 2-3 pats of the butter. Add the dill and the wine simmer until the wine has reduced by half. Pour it all over the salmon.

SERVE IT UP!!! With some good crusty bread and the rest of that white wine!!
