OUR kids LOVED this SALMON?!!!!

Tonight I made the easiest meal ever! It is a recipe by Williams-Sonoma. It's called "Roasted Salmon with Thyme Vinaigrette". To be honest with you, I cannot stand fish in general, especially salmon. The only reason I truly made this, was because it is one of my husband's favorite foods. I was not sure how this was going to go with 2 kiddos under the age of 3. Especially for my boy, he is the pickiest eater ever!

When making the recipe be sure to triple the vinaigrette if you are making four salmon fillets, so that you can have a little remaining to put on a fresh green salad for this meal or another. 

I will tell you that EVERYONE in the family LOVED this recipe. My daughter LOVED the tangy salad dressing, which didn't surprise me since she loves pickles and lemons. My son was not keen on the salad but really enjoyed the salmon. He gobbled it up completely. I am glad that such a healthy meal was a 5 star meal! Even I, was able to enjoy this meal, that's saying a lot. I was not looking foward to trying it, because it is hard to have a "poker face" for your kids, when you are eating something that you dislike equally as much as them :)

A word of caution, when putting the vinaigrette on the salmon to marinate, make sure that you don't touch the salmon with the utensil and then re-dip the utensil in the vinaigrette. Otherwise, you could cross contaminate the vinaigrette with harmful bacteria. I always use a separate bowl as well as utensils. I love putting marinades on with silicone brushes, this set is my favorite. My kitchen has very neutral colors, but in my opinion, there is nothing more fun than using kitchen tools and gadgets with a pop of color. Here is a set of my favorite silicone brushes from Amazon. They have 2 sizes. As an Amazon associate, I earn a small amount of money for qualifying purchases. #recipe #salmon #Williams-Sonoma #healthy #foodie #meals #supper #dinner #kids #family
