First post of 2016 and we’re keeping it real simple for some good down home cooking. I made this Salmon for dinner the other night and served it with rice, and roasted string beans and roasted butternut squash. Simply delicious and really very easy. I am sure you have all these ingredients in the house except for fish. I bought wild salmon and it was just for the two of us so 2 filets cut fresh about 1 lb. total for the two of us. If I had more we would have eaten it but it was really enough. Enjoy and keep cooking in ’16. (8 oz. filets with the skin on)
*this recipe for the sauce will serve 4 just increase the amount of fish you use.
Ingredients:
2 8 oz. filets of wild salmon ( or any kind you like)
1/2 cup mayonnaise ( I use light, never fat free)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup Honey
Salt and Pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl with a small whisk or fork mix mayo, honey and Dijon till smooth. Pat dry the salmon filets with a paper towel and place on parchment paper or non-stick silicone sheet on a rimmed baking sheet skin side down. Sprinkle lightly with some Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper. Take about 1/2 of the mayo mixture to a separate bowl and spread all over the top and sides of the fish. Discard any of this remaining mixture. You still have the other 1/2 for extra sauce if you desire that you haven’t contaminated with raw fish!!!! this is important.
I baked for 7 minutes and then turned oven to broil and did that for 7 minutes. Everyone has a different oven and of course depending on the thickness of the fish but check on fish by just touching it after the 7 minute bake, if it feels jiggly to the touch bake for another few minutes. All I can say is 7 bake and 7 broil worked out perfectly for me . ( check out picture) Fish should be opaque in the center and you can just easily check with a knife, but keep your eye on the fish so as not to overcook it.
