Tilapia with spicy sesame dressing


This turned out to be a very decent lunch: start with a bed of mixed greens with fresh baby spinach. sprinkle some flaxseed, ground pepper, Old Bay style seasoning on it, as well as a spoonful of crushed walnuts (I just grab a few and crush them in my hand) and seeds (I used pumpkin seeds, because that's what I have). Pan grill a fillet of tilapia (again, I used flash frozen, frozen when caught fish from the supermarket). To make the dressing simply mix 1/2 tbsp of coconut milk with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add ground pepper, basil, seafood seasoning, and either cayenne or Old Bay seasoning. Mix well with a fork and taste to make sure it's to your liking. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and the fish. The fish, if cooked properly, should crumble under your fork allowing you to get a piece of fish and salad with just about every bite!

Heirloon Fig and Walnut Salad with Agave Vinaigrette






Throw chopped heirloom tomato, sliced fresh fig, crushed walnuts, and ground flaxseed on top of a bed of mixed greens. Make the dressing by combining 1 tbs grapeseed oil, 1 tbs olive oil, fresh ground pepper, cumin or allspice (but just a touch), basil, and a 1/2-1 teaspoon of Agave nectar. Mix well until the ingredients are combined well then add just a splash of coconut milk and continue to mix until the coconut milk and the oils blend into a very light cream vinaigrette.

Enjoy!
