Recipe(tried): Roasted Salmon with Maple Glaze, Lemon Rice with Golden Raisins and Almonds, Applesauce Bread
MenusHello Everyone!
I have been watching DVD's of The Sopranos and Six Feet Under, two of my favorite HBO programs. Unfortunately, Six Feet Under had their series finale a few weeks back and it was the BEST ending to any show I had ever seen! I cried and cried at the ending, it was that moving. Now I am looking forward to Season 5, or is it 6, of The Sopranos. I believe I have to wait til March!!!!
I went to the library this afternoon and one of the librarians, bless her heart, Miss Linda had a little surprise for me. She had made Paula Deen's Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. Man, that was killer!!!! Incredible little tidbit, tasted like a brownie. It was insanely delicious! I believe Betsy has that showcased here on the cookbook section because Miss Linda told me she got the recipe from there. It is from the Lady and Sons Dessert Book.
I am baking her Applesauce Bread right now and the aroma comes all the way back here.....delicious!
Tonight's menu is:
Roasted Salmon with Maple Glaze
Lemon Rice with Golden Raisins and Almonds
Sesame Green Beans
Spinach Salad with Mandarins and Cashews
Mama's Sweet Iced Tea
Applesauce Bread
Happy Cooking!
ROASTED SALMON WITH MAPLE GLAZE
Source: Mayo Clinic.com
Servings: 6
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 lbs. salmon, cut into 6 equal size fillets
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper
fresh mint or parsley for garnish
Preheat oven to 450. Lightly grease a pan with cooking spray.
In a small saucepan, over low heat, mix together the maple syrup, garlic and balsamic vinegar. Heat until just hot and remove from heat. Pour half of the mixture into a small bowl for basting. Reserve the rest for later.
Pat the salmon dry. Place skin side down on the pan. Brush with the mixture. Bake for 10 minutes, brush again and bake for another 5 minutes. Continue to baste and bake until fish flakes easily about 20-25 minutes total.
Transfer to plates. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with reserved maple syrup mixture. Garnish with mint or rosemary and serve immediately.
