Yes you can eat Salmon on a budget! Go to the frozen food section of your favorite discount store and you'll find a big variety of individually frozen fish fillets. Some may even be seasoned already. Just thaw according to package instructions and bake with your favorite seasonings. I like lemon pepper and garlic pepper. You can also find seasonings at the discount food store. I usually spray the pan with a little cooking spray to keep the fish from sticking. Each fillet is about 3 ounces.
Mixed Veggies: As you can see I love lots of color in my food. I buy the red, green, orange and yellow bell peppers when they are on sale. I wash and slice them thin and put them in zip lock bags in the freezer. I do the same with red and yellow onions. I'm a firm believer in frozen veggies because there is less waste. I buy them on sale and mix my own veggies because when you get the pre- mixed blends they tend to have a lot of carrots. If I use the pre-mixed veggies I will add more green veggies. For the dish shown here I had one fresh yellow zucchini. I sliced it in half length-wise, then cut it into quarter inch pieces making half circles. I sauteed quarter cup each of onions and mixed color bell peppers in one teaspoon of olive oil in a big skillet. When they are soft I add the fresh zucchini and a quarter cup each of frozen string beans and baby lima beans. When they are almost done I added two cups of fresh baby spinach. Add your favorite seasonings, fresh garlic or garlic powder to taste. You may have to add a quarter cup of water to keep them from sticking, but you don't want them swimming in water.
Serve with one slice of multi-grain toast. cut into fourths diagonally with a teaspoon of olive oil drizzled on it.
