Lemon-Dill Salmon with Creamy Feta Sauce

August 31, 2015 by Jaida Leave a Comment

Do you ever have those weekends when you have so much to do, but there just doesn’t seem to be enough time to do it all? Yeah, well…I had one of those kinds of weekends. I felt like my to-do list was five miles long and there was no way I could get everything done in just two days. So what do I do? I stress, of course! Unnecessarily? Of course!! And do you know what happened to my “plan” for the weekend? It got thrown right out the window.

Some of the things I had planned to do, just simply didn’t happen. And you know what? That’s ok! What matters is that I spent time with the hubby and some family and friends throughout the weekend. I got the grocery shopping done – eventually – and the world didn’t end because I didn’t get those other things done. In fact, I didn’t even cook until last night. Not on Friday (we had leftovers) and not on Saturday, either. It’s not the norm, but it’s not the end of the world, either. All I can say is that I’m blessed to have so much going on that I “stress” about how to get it all done.

But fear not, my friends, because I have an amazing recipe to share with y’all today.

Lemon-Dill Salmon with Creamy Feta Sauce
Yes, it’s another salmon recipe. But it’s an amazing one that I couldn’t put on the back-burner for a later date. Because you need to know about it. You need to make it. And eat it.
Not only is lemon and dill and super fantastic flavor combo that goes well with salmon any day, but the feta cream sauce?? Good lawd. It uses the simplest ingredients, but the flavor is outstanding. The feta really shines through, but isn’t overpowering. It compliments the lemon and dill on the salmon, and of course you  know we love a good sauce with…well…everything. So, yeah…J and I were big fans of this dish and it re-heated for lunch leftovers really well, too! Double win!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
