<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>\n

This week I teamed up with Pier 33 Gourmet to make a fun and healthy dinner for my family. About Pier 33, they are an ecologically conscious and sustainable brand. They deliver clean seafood from the waters of Patagonia in Southern Chile and Argentina. The Salmon is Ocean Raised and the shrimp is wild caught in the deep, cold water. All gluten free and non-GMO. Everything is tested by the Chilean, Argentine and US government to ensure quality and safety. They also are a part of the Clean Production Agreement, they preserve the areas they fish and help control overfishing. You can obviously tell why I would want to be apart of such an amazing company. Non-GMO, Eco-friendly, Wild Caught are all key words I look for when it comes to the seafood that I am going to consume. \u00a0 $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

The salmon comes pre-packaged and frozen for the perfect portion sizes. I let mine sit out in a bowl of water for about a half hour before I pulled them out for seasoning. You will need a oven safe pan that can withstand high heat as we cook the salmon under broil. I use both grass-fed butter to coat the bottom and a little avocado oil to season the tops of the filets. I add Lemon Pepper, Black Pepper rub, pink salt and lavender. Warm the filets and butter over a low heat flame until the butter is completely melted. $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Top the filets with fresh, sliced and organic garlic. This adds such a pretty touch and the taste is such a unique combination. Heat the oven to 500 degrees or Broil and let the salmon marinate in the juices and butter until you are ready to put in the oven. It takes 7 minutes per inch of meat. These were thin filets so it took only 7 minutes. I could of even gone less because I waited a little longer to pull them out.\u00a0 $\"\"$ <\/a>While I waited for the oven to heat up, I was trying to think of a good topping that was fresh to go on top of the salmon. I also have a thing where I try to get in as many vegetables as possible into my meals. I will tell you now that it has made a tremendous difference in my life and health. I find myself now craving vegetables and they are the biggest portions of my meals. I had Kathryn, my best friend and food stylist chop up some red bell peppers, jalepenos, purple onion, yellow pepper, ginger and garlic to toss on top. She diced them so perfectly and we tossed them into a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil and a little salt to bring out the natural flavors. \u00a0
\n $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a>
\n $\"\"$ <\/a>The beet hummus was new to me, I had always seen it and wanted to make it and I just bought fresh beets that I had no clue what to do with. I actually really don\u2019t like beets but I understand how good they are for you so I decided I needed to give it a shot. Also keep in mind that I improvised this recipe because I didn\u2019t have the right ingredients. I used garbanzo beans instead of chickpeas, I used sesame seed oil combined with olive oil instead of tahini.
\n $\"\"$ <\/a>In order to get the beets soft enough to blend them, I put them into the oven at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes to soften them up. They came out flawlessly and blended so easily into the hummus. The result was such a GORGEOUS color.
\n $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a>For the shrimp, I wanted to actually skewer them and grill but it was about 30 degrees outside and I refused to stand outside so I pan fried them instead. These shrimp are so deliciously delicate that it isn\u2019t about cooking them but more about warming them up. I again used grass-fed butter, a little pink salt and some dill. I wanted to keep it simple. I pan fried each shrimp for about 4 minutes on each side. They turned into a beautiful pink color and had a texture similar to lobster. They also had loads of flavor.
\n $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a>I laid down purple and green cabbage and threw the shrimp on top. I combined the rest of the butter form the shrimp in the pan, cilantro, onion, garlic and ginger and combined them into a blender for a dipping sauce. $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a>After the salmon is cooked, consume immediately. We topped the salmon with the pepper pico and it was absolutely incredible. I have never thought that I was a good cook, but lately I have been truly amazed at what I have come up with. I went off of no recipe and just went with gut instinct with different flavor palettes. My parents downed everything in sight. The shrimp and the cabbage were gone in less than 10 minutes. We enjoyed the beet hummus as a dip for the shrimp as well as an appetizer eaten with crackers while I was still preparing the food. Everything blended together so well. Yes, there was a lot of garlic and onion but my parents who complained they felt were getting sick, woke up the next day completely healthy and with a little stank of garlic breath. Ha! This recipe is good, delicious and actually good for you! I hope you enjoy it and would love to hear about your experience with these recipes!\u00a0
