Lemon Salmon and Cucumber Salad


You'll be surprised about this fillet of salmon. It's not fresh, its COSTCO packaged! Yup, the college life is definitely hard when you have no money or time, but that doesn't make it an excuse to prohibit you from eating good food. I've been using frozen packets of salmon for over 3 years now, I still prefer the fresh ones...but this still turns out just as good. This whole dish literally takes 15 minutes to make which is freaking amazing when you're in a hurry 




















Ingredients for 1 serving

1 four ounce fillet of Salmon
1 cucumber
1 lemon
1/4 a cup of Non-fat Greek yogurt
2 gloves of garlic
Salt and Pepper

Prep time: 5
Cooking Time: 10


Directions

1. Get a nice pan and turn the heat up to medium high, wait a little until the pan gets nice and hot to drizzle in your olive oil. Season your fillet with Salt and Pepper on both sides and then lay your Salmon into the pan. Cook one side of the fillet for 4 minutes

2. During this time as the salmon is cooking, crush 2 cloves or garlic. Don't even bother mincing your garlic, once you've crushed the garlic cloves and thrown it in the pan, it'll infuse with the olive oil and give it a nice flavor. Once the 4 minutes of the salmon are up, turn it over and cook it for 3.5 minutes

3. Get your cucumber, and peel it into ribbons, or you could just cut it up into small circles...whatever you fancy. In a bowl, get your cucumbers, greek yogurt, and lemon juice and mix it together. Season with salt and pepper; now you have a simple and easy cucumber salad

4. At this time your fillet should almost be done. Get your other half of the lemon and squeeze some of the juices in. Now you have yourself a nice delicious salmon with a tangy cucumber salad.

Fast. Easy. and Simply Delicious
