Halibut Tomato Zucchini Roast

A brief apology for my two month absence. Summer has flown by so fast and I have been chasing three active girls around, losing track of all time. We have still been trying to follow close to our Paleo diet, but I have found myself slacking and consuming more sugars from fruits and chocolates than I would like to admit.

In an attempt to get our eating back on the right track, I am trying to focus more on fresh seasonal produce, which is not hard when you live in Oregon. This time of year fresh produce is abundant and inexpensive.

 When they said Eat the Rainbow, I am sure those researchers must have been thinking of the typical Oregonian Diet. Tomatoes are also a excellent source of antioxidants that can protect your skin against UV's , and is a great anti-aging vegetable.

Good Friday Dinner

During Lent we have refrained from eating meat on Fridays. With the exception of Fish!


Our family loves fish, my girls love fish and eat it up, and I am sure that this Halibut recipe will become one of your families favorites as well!

Roasted Pepper Halibut

• 1 pound of Halibut
• Cayenne pepper, 
• salt and pepper 
• 1 lemon squeezed
• 5 tablespoons of Olive oil
• 1 shallot
• 2 Bell red peppers
• 2 hot cherry peppers from a jar and deseeded
• 2 tablespoons of balsamic
• 1tablespoon of Honey
• 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

and my treat but this is not paleo, but makes this recipe amazing is....
2 tablespoons of Kelly's Habanero Jelly

Marinate the Halibut in lemon juice and a tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle Cayenne pepper, salt and pepper on fish.

In food processor puree bell pepper, hot cherry pepper,  balsamic, honey, mustard, and optional  Jelly.


Bake Halibut or grill. I baked at 450 for around 25 minutes. I am extra safe and cautious, and we were cooking 2 pounds this night.

When you are done baking add sauce.

This sauce was so good that we added it to our egg mixture the next morning!

We had an amazing Good Friday Dinner.

Salmon Burger

It has been awhile since I have posted, a dish. We went on a trip to Disneyland, and I have not been cooking as much as I would like too. Tonight I made a Salmon Burger. I wrapped it in Ice Burg lettuce, instead of a bun. While in California, I ordered a hamburger with no bun, and in lettuce is how they sent it! Love the Paleo trend setters!

Here is what you need

Salmon burger

• 8 ounces of fresh Salmon
• one orange
• Lettuce of choice
• Pepper
• Salt
• Homemade Mayonnaise
• Three cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons of Shallot
• Thyme sprinkled
• 1 tablespoon of Cilantro Fresh
• 2 teaspoons of olive oil

Slice and take skin and de-bone salmon. Place in a food processor and blend.

In a bowl Squeeze two tablespoons of Orange juice and grate 2 teaspoons. Lemon would also be a fantastic alternative!!!!

Mix into your bowl all spices, garlic, herbs, and shallots.

Pour into food processor.

Once salmon is processed, form into patties, and place on a baking sheet lined with foil. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.

Line plate with two thick slices of layered lettuce, and place salmon burger on lettuce. Add Mayonnaise.

Serve and Enjoy!
