Ingredients

  • 3 ounces salmon
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1 Yukon gold potato
  • 1/4 tsp butter
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley
  • 4 asparagus spears
  • 1 tsp fat free Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 slice of tomato

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
  2. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place the salmon, topped with the thin slide of tomato, with lemon wedges along side, in a glass pie pan in the oven. Bake the fish until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
  3. Meanwhile, microwave the potato for 3 minutes then add it to the oven. Place the asparagus in a pan and bake it with the fish for the last 5 or 6 minutes. You want the asparagus to be crisp tender.
  4. Plate your dinner. Place the salmon with the tomato on the plate and squeeze the lemon over the fish. Add the potato and garnish the potato with the butter and parsley. Add the asparagus and use a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing over the asparagus.
  5. Chef's Tips: This dish can be a fast one during the week or a fancy one for a dinner party. You can serve it plated or on a platter family style.

Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII discovered her love of cooking at her grandmother's side, stirring raisin oatmeal on a Saturday morning. By 15 she had her first food service job. At 18 she was accepted to the Culinary Institute of America, where she graduated second in her class, then went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland to study pastry arts and baking. A decade with Hyatt Hotels followed before she founded Food and Health Communications with a single conviction: food that is good for you should taste extraordinary.

Judy holds a Master of Professional Studies in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America, a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University (Summa Cum Laude), two art certificates from UC Berkeley Extension, and the CIA's Pro Chef II certification. She has earned the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year award.

Today she develops every recipe on this site, shoots and styles food through her food photography and motion studio, and publishes nutrition education materials for dietitians, schools, extension offices, and health professionals through nutritioneducationstore.com. She uses the latest nutritional science and Dietary Guidelines to drive her creativity — whether that means a new twist on fajitas or Italian brownies made with toasted nuts and cooked honey. Her mission has never changed: help everyone make food that tastes as good as it is for them.
