Lemon Thyme Baked Salmon and Sauteed Garlic Lemon Kale

What did the fish say when he posted bail?
I'm off the hook!

Deliciousususususuususususussss.....

I must have been on some kind of Thyme-Lemon kick the other day, because in addition to the tasty Raspberry Lemon Thyme Smash we also had this beauty for dinner.

This is my new favorite way to cook salmon.  It came out absolutely flaky, moist and delicious.  Since outside has been full of rain, grilling was not an option.  Into the oven dinner goes! (or on the stove-top if your name is Kale).

Healthy, somewhat fast (under 40 minutes), and warm.

Here's what you need (for 2 people):
For the Salmon:
1 big ol piece of salmon
1-2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
1-2 teaspoons of lemon zest
1/3-1/2 teaspoon of fresh thyme
salt and pepper to taste
For the Kale:
1-2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of garlic, chopped/minced
2-3 large handfuls of kale
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Grilled Pineapple with Cream and Thyme

Why did the pineapple stop in the middle of the road?
Because it ran out of juice.

The temperature outside is getting hot!  During the day, I find myself reaching for more and more fruit.  Today in particular, I reached for some slices on pineapple and thought (daydreamed, rather) about how delicious they would taste grilled.  Since I did not want to go outside in the heat this afternoon I decided to try my hand at 'grilling' them on the stove top.  Lord knows you can't leave the pineapple all by its lonesome...so I also whipped up some fresh cream and grabbed some herbs from my garden.

Here's what you need for my Stove Top Pineapples with Cream and Thyme (1 serving, increase if you feel like sharing....i didn't):
3 slices of pineapple, canned works fine if you don't have fresh on hand
1 teaspoon of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 dash of agave syrup
1/4 cup of heavy cream
1 dash of vanilla
1/4 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme
