This recipe can be made ahead, frozen and reheated for quick meals. Fish can be kept frozen for 1-2 months.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons shallot minced
2 tablespoons garlic minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
16 ounces salmon fillet
8 ounces baby carrots
1/4 cup dried apricot halves
1 teaspoon tarragon
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon olive oil

Method:

In a small bowl, mix the white wine, onion, garlic, olive oil, Dijon and paprika. Portion salmon and place each serving in a freezer bag. Divide mustard mixture between the bags, coat fish and freeze.

Drop carrots in boiling water, cook for 3 minutes, drain and toss with apricots, tarragon, orange juice and olive oil. Portion into Ziplocs, freeze.

To serve, thaw overnight in the fridge, or put in fridge in the morning for use that night.
