The Art of Cooking Salmon...


If you are reading this post, I want to say thank you...and you are VERY patient!! I have not forgotten about you or yummy food. Thanks for sticking around! I have a good recipe for you that I've actually made twice in the last week and a half!! That's how good it is:-) I have cooked salmon before, but I have never cooked salmon well before. It was always dry and chewy...not the way you want to enjoy salmon. I have since learned the secret of cooking moist, juicy salmon that literally falls apart on your plate...searing it in a pan for like 10 seconds on each side!! So simple! It seals in all the scrumptious juices! Then pop it in the oven until it's just cooked through and enjoy! I hope you do...enjoy this delicious, healthy treat. And I will do my very best to make our next encounter much sooner than before:-) Happy Cooking!








Salmon Ingredients:

Milk
Flour
Crushed Almonds or Pecans
Brown Sugar


*Dip the Salmon in the milk
*Coat it in the flour, nut, sugar mixture
*Pan sear in Olive Oil for about 10 seconds on each side, just until it's golden brown
*Bake at 350* just until it's cooked through (about 10 minutes)

No surprise here! I love roasted Veggies!! These were just tossed in Olive oil, Salt, and Pepper and baked at about 400*

Mushrooms & Qunioa...

Happy New Year! I found this picture when I was doing some New Year's cleaning, and I remembered how yummy it was. I don't remember the recipe exactly, but it was very simple. Roasted carrots and an assortment of mushrooms with thyme and olive oil, tossed over quinoa cooked in chicken broth. All this on top of Spinach and topped with chopped pistachios. Mmmmm....Enjoy!
