Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the herb butter mixture.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the herb butter evenly over each fillet.
  4. On another baking sheet, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bake the salmon and asparagus in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
  6. Serve the salmon garnished with lemon slices alongside the lemony asparagus. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For an extra touch, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes for a beautifully caramelized top.

To ensure your salmon is perfectly cooked, check for doneness by gently flaking the fish with a fork; it should be opaque and easily flake apart. If you prefer a crispy skin, place the salmon skin-side down in the oven and avoid flipping it.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a preheated oven to avoid drying out the fish. Feel free to use a mixture of herbs based on your preference; dill, parsley, and tarragon make excellent substitutes for the herbs in this recipe.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free alternative)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten (or flax egg for vegan)
  • Oil for frying

FOR THE GARLIC AIOLI

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayo)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some chunks.
  2. Add the breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, parsley, and beaten egg to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until combined.
  3. Form the mixture into small patties or fritters, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
  4. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the fritters in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove fritters from the pan and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  6. For the garlic aioli, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Serve the crispy chickpea fritters warm with the garlic aioli on the side.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.

When frying, be sure to maintain the oil’s temperature to achieve that perfect crispy texture. If the fritters are browning too quickly, lower the heat. You can also bake the fritters at 400°F (200°C) for a healthier version—just lightly spray them with oil and flip halfway through.

For a flavor twist, try adding chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro to the chickpea mixture. These fritters can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated in the oven for best results.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh figs, quartered

Notes

Tip: For added flavor, drizzle a little balsamic reduction over the tart just before serving.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 cups water
  • 4 black tea bags
  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes
  • Additional peach slices and basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a pot.
  2. Remove from heat and steep the black tea bags for 5 minutes.
  3. While tea is steeping, blend the sliced peaches and fresh basil until smooth.
  4. Strain the peach-basil mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, discarding the solids.
  5. Stir in the honey or agave syrup until dissolved.
  6. Add the brewed tea to the pitcher and mix well.
  7. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the peach-basil tea over the ice.

Notes

Tip: For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream to froth the tea for a creamy texture.

For an extra boost of flavor, try using herbal or green tea instead of regular black tea. If fresh peaches aren’t in season, frozen peaches can be a great alternative. Just thaw them before blending for a smooth consistency.

Store any leftover iced tea in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To serve, simply re-froth it or stir well before enjoying. This drink also makes a wonderful base for a light cocktail – just add a splash of your favorite spirit!
