Weekday Dinner

 I really, really, really wanted to go pick up carryout for dinner tonight. I was daydreaming of all the different options I had and just could not decide. I got so frustrated that I ended up at the grocery store. I formulated a plan before I went in to make a salad with a piece of salmon. Healthy, very little effort, and very delicious.

I bought 2 good sized pieces of salmon and seared them in a copper skillet (you could use a non-stick -- I just love how the skillet my husband got me for Christmas puts a nice crispy sear on the outside of my fish) with some salt and pepper until they were cooked through to my liking.

Using some baby arugula, some pomegranate arils, chopped English cucumber, chopped red onion, crumbled Feta, a few olives, and various dressings, dinner was served!

For the children, I put their arugula and salmon on Sponge Bob plates (for the boys) and a Dora plate (for my daughter) with Ranch dressing. I can get them to eat anything this way!

For my husband, I put out the Greek dressing and for myself, after I placed my salmon on top of my salad, I squeezed a clementine on top and drizzled some oil and more salt and pepper. It was so perfect!

We had some clementines and bananas for dessert and a few teeny cookies before bed for the kids. It was all almost as easy as walking in with the food already made from a restaurant but healthier and cheaper:)
