Clever name, eh? Not really. There is no longer any item on the planet that is truly Paleo because guess what: nature evolves. At any rate, let's go ahead and say that this blog is about CLEAN, non-processed recipes that might sometimes be called Paleo by some people. Enjoy!

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!

Mesquite Wild Caught Salmon Salad, it's what's for lunch!
Looking for a quick and relatively easy lunch to keep on track? Try this: go to your supermarket and buy some flash frozen (FF), frozen at sea (FAS) fish. I got some wild caught Alaskan Salmon (I've read that the omegas make it, if flash frozen at sea). Toss it into a pan with a little bit of grapeseed or coconut oil and season to your liking, I used a mesquite seasoning here just to mix it up a bit. Cook for aboub 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the piece you buy and the way you like your fish. While the fish is cooking throw a handful of mixed greens into a bowl, top with your favorite oil and some seasoning (think garlic, basil, cumin, whatever you like), some seeds (I used pumpkin seeds), crushed walnuts (i use just a touch), a sprinkling of ground flaxseed and sliced cucumber. Toss the salad. When the fish is done cooking place on top of salad. Now, I made this kind of boring and colorless: you could certainly jazz this up a bit by adding sliced tomatoes, fruit of some type, etc, but I wanted to keep it simple.
Enjoy!
