Roasted Salmon with a Cabbage and Mint Slaw | Betsylife.com

I’ve been neglecting my kitchen lately and subsequently neglecting myself and my creative tendencies. It can happen to the best of us. As great as betsylife is, there are definitely times where I just put my head down and power through heaps of boring junk in order to get back to what I love. Its a fact of life. We all have to go through it at some point.

This year has been crazy so far. I’m juggling a million things at once, some fun, some not so fun, but its been great ride overall. I’m learning, growing, and best of all, figuring out what i’m really made of. One of the biggest thrills in my life is stacking my plate so high I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do it all, and somehow making everything happen. When you push yourself to your limit is when you learn who you really are.

Always on my to-do list is working out, and eating healthy, balanced food. I know that drive thru fare will never fuel my brain and body for my mountain of tasks each day, but elaborate meals just aren’t in the cards for me right now. Therefore I’ve been trying to make healthy food that’s FAST like this roasted salmon with a cabbage and mint slaw.

Roasted Salmon with a Cabbage and Mint Slaw | Betsylife.com

Marinade the salmon while you chop the slaw and preheat the oven. Roast the salmon while you fold clothes, empty the dishwasher, reply to emails and toss the slaw in remaining marinade. Top slaw with cooked salmon. Eat while writing a grocery list for tomorrow, staying in touch with friends and family via text, and updating your calendar. At least that’s what I did. It’s multitasking at its finest!

If you’ve got a multitasking tip I NEED IT! Please send them all my way while enjoying this light and healthy salmon dish.

    I needed this! I’m in the same position right now, so many things going on and I have been neglecting the things I love (cooking, hiking, being creative). But I totally agree with you, it’s when you almost have too much on your plate that you realize what you are capable of.
    You are so inspiring Betsy, love you!

    I’m a fish lover, but if you can believe this…I’ve never cooked salmon at home! This looks beautiful though and something I can probably manage on even the craziest of nights.
