Here is a complete meal that’s full of nutrients that the whole family will love. This recipe is from The Food Network.

• Cooking spray
• Olive oil
• 4 salmon fillets
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 pound fingerling potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into thin strips
• 2 cups string beans

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large roasting pan and large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Season salmon with salt and pepper and place in prepared roasting pan. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, molasses, brown sugar, and garlic. Pour mixture over salmon in pan. Arrange oranges over salmon, set aside.

Arrange potatoes and green beans on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Roast salmon and vegetables for 20 to 25 minutes (depending on cut of salmon, it might take only 15 to 20 minutes), until fish is fork-tender and potatoes are golden brown and tender. Remove from oven.

Serve the salmon with all of the vegetables.

Serves 4

Use a white wine that you’d want to drink after opening. And for those of you looking to speed things up, you don’t need to slice the green beans, but it was a good call, the sauce gets into all the nooks and crevices.

• 1 pound green beans, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup / 2.5 oz / 70g golden raisins
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 bay leaves
• 1/3 cup / 80 ml white wine
• 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• scant 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 6 ounces extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup / 120 ml crème fraîche or sour cream
• 1/4 cup / 3/4 oz / 20g sliced almonds, toasted
• 1/3 cup / one handful of finely chopped fresh cilantro
• salt and pepper to taste

Cook the green beans in a pot of well-salted boiling water for about a minute, just long enough that they lose their raw edge. Drain and dunk in ice-cold water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.

In a small bowl cover the raisins with scalding hot water for five minutes, drain and set aside.

Heat your largest skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil, garlic, onion, and bay leaves. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the onions and garlic start to brown just a bit. Add the wine and cook until it has mostly evaporated. Carefully remove the bay leaves. Stir in the paprika, cumin, coriander, curry powder, salt, crushed red pepper flakes. Stir in the tofu and raisins and cook until heated through, a minute or so. Add the butter and green beans and stir until the butter has melted. Remove from heat and stir in the crème fraiche, then most of the almonds and most of the cilantro. Taste and add more salt and some pepper if you like. Serve topped with any remaining almonds and cilantro.

Serves 4 to 6.
