Here’s dinner #2 from Part B, Day 5, Week 1, SSHE – Fish Almondine:
I had to take a picture of the actual containers because the 2,000 calorie version (on the left) had so much in it they had a special stop sign shaped container for it. Impressive! And here they are open:
The 2,000 calorie version is on the left. There was a little piece of fish, a container of steamed snap peas, another of potatoes and… cookies! Hurray! Everything is always packed very nicely so the flavors don’t mix before you want them to.
So, since I’ve been impersonating Suzie homemaker and have used the oven twice in the past 2 days, why not make it a third? Plus, something about putting fish in the microwave creeps me out like my house will smell like fish for a week.
After 20 minutes at 400 degrees, dinner was ready:
Again the 2,000 calorie version is on the left. The 1,200 fish filet looks larger in this photo, but it was much thinner. There were more potatoes and snap peas for the 2,000 calorie version.
I’m so glad I didn’t put this in the microwave, because the cod came out flaky and moist. There was a little parmesan cheese and almonds on top (hence the name?) along with bread crumbs and paprika. The potatoes also had some parmesan on them and browned slightly in the oven. The snap peas still had their snap. Next time I’ll have to remember to get lemon wedges.
Again, it’s so nice to have fish on this diet! For some reason I feel healthier after I eat it. Of course, until I have dessert:
Yum! I think the raspberry flavor was a little strong but otherwise a nice treat! The 2,000 calorie version got 2 cookies.
