Cheap and Easy...wait that sounds all wrong.

Still vigilant in my search for cheap, easy, healthy, recipes. Here are a few that I've either stumbled across or made up.

Chicken over Corn Salsa (serves 2-4)
2 Grilled Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Can of Corn
1 Can of Rotel Tomatos with Green Chiles

Drain corn. Add to skillet on medium heat. Add Rotel and simmer till most of the moisture evaporates. Spoon onto plate. Smack your chicken breast on top. Voila!

Spicey Tuna Spread
1 can Tuna in water
1 tsp Ground Horseraddish
2 TBS Ketchup
1 TBS Hot Sauce
12-15 Triscut Reduced Fat crackers

Drain Tuna. Mix with horseraddish, ketchup, and hot sauce. Spread on crackers and enjoy!

Soy Soaked Seared Salmon
This one is super easy. I think people tend to be leary of fish, but its foolproof. Beware though that if you don't like a "fishy" taste, try Halibut or Tilapia.

4 Salmon Fillets
1/2 cup Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 TBS Minced Garlic
1 TBS Ground Pepper

Mix together soy sauce, pepper, and garlic in a flat pan (8x8 baking dish is what I use.) Lay fillets down in a single layer for 1-2 minutes, then flip for 1-2 minutes. In a 12 in skillet over Med-High heat lay fillets skin side down and DO NOT TOUCH THEM! 4-5 Minutes depending on thickness, then flip for 1-2 minutes. Salmon should flake away easily from the rest of the fillet. I like this with brown rice and steamed vegetables.
**You may be temped to marinate the fillets in the sauce mixture for longer. Be my guest, but be warned that they can come away very salty if left in the marinade for too long.**
