So today I get off of work and I immediately want to make something as easy as possible. I kind of glazed over lunch at work today, and by glazed I mean I ate like 3 of those peanut butter pretzel bites. So I was SUPER hungry.

I go to the fridge and I immediately grab what I have on hand–frozen salmon, mini bell peppers, grape tomatoes, and eggs. Grape tomatoes and mini bell peppers can get kind of pricey sometimes, but I always buy it from Costco where you get more bang for your buck on these items. As a single (ahem), these items stretch for quite a few meals.

The first thing I do is grab some aluminum foil and wrap my toaster oven baking pan. I want to do as little washing as possible, so this is an important step. Make sure that the aluminum foil goes up the edges so nothing spills out.

Lay down the salmon skin side down. You may be wondering, do I need to put oil down? It’s really up to you, but I say nahhhh. I used to put oil down before I baked stuff, but after taste testing without the oil, I realized it wasn’t that necessary. It didn’t really improve the flavor nor were the ingredients sticking to the pan that much. So LESS FAT FOR ME hehe. Also, this is a frozen salmon fillet, I did not defrost it.

Scatter a handful of grape tomatoes around the salmon so it isn’t too lonely. Grape tomatoes are so deliciously juicy.

Remove stems from the mini bell peppers. I used to just awkwardly eat around the stem, but then I realized that I could gently pull it off, making the whole thing edible.

Crack an egg onto the pan. Kinda weird I guess, but I really don’t want to wash a frying pan and it really doesn’t taste too bad.

Then put the pan into the toaster oven for 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, check to see if the salmon is done by splitting it down the middle. Ugly, but let’s be real this meal is just for you.

Then slather it with some sriracha or seasoning of your choice.

Add some Simply Limeade in a stemless wine glass and Friends on Netflix, and dinner for one doesn’t seem too bad.

All I had to wash after dinner today was the fork and cup. My kind of meal.
