Frozen block o' fish and rice

Tonight... the I-don't-get-paid-until-Friday-what-is-in-my-fridge diet. What better dinner to have on a Monday night than a Gorton's frozen salmon filet and rice? Well... sushi, but whatever.

Dish: Frozen block o' Salmon and Rice
Prep time: However long it takes your oven to preheat and your water to boil
Cook time: 20 minutes
Difficulty level: Easy


Believe it or not, these frozen blocks of fish come in handy. Tonight, I popped the above salmon in the oven for about 15 minutes. Once it was done, I dashed a little Worcestershire sauce on top and placed it back in the oven. I'm notorious for only using Minute Rice so naturally, I whipped that up pretty quick... five minutes to be exact. 

Once the rice was done, I took the salmon out of the oven and shredded it and then placed it on top of my rice. Added a little extra Worcestershire sauce and BAM... dinner was served. 

I really like Worcestershire sauce so I add it to a lot of my meats. If you aren't as keen, you can naturally leave it off; the salmon tastes fine without it. I loathe brown rice, but if you're trying to stay on the healthy route, always substitute the white for the brown. 

I also recommend the Gorton's tilapia -- it's to die for. 



Welcome to the Kitchen!

I spend most of my days putting oddities together to make a meal. Even in the real world, I eat very much like a college kid -- minus the ramen. I have multiple cookbooks that I've only ever skimmed through -- but that's all about to change.

How am I ever going to snag a man if I only cook the same handful of meals every week? Kidding... But I do need to expand my cooking horizons, much like my eating ones. I am a self-proclaimed picky eater. However, I have gone out of a whim a time or two lately and have tried multiple new foods. I think I deserve a high five for that.

Here, all self-proclaimed Paula Deen wannabes can get their foodie fix. Recipes will either be chosen from the variety of cookbooks sitting in my kitchen or they'll be some of my oddity concoctions. All will be Khronicled here for you to try.

Enjoy!
