Recipe Monday - Mushroom Salmon

I know this looks like we eat a lot of salmon, but really, I just love the recipes!

1 1/2 lbs fresh salmon
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup dry white wine (or 2 T water with 2 T fresh lemon juice)

Cut salmon into 4 equal portions and put in a lightly oiled baking dish.
Heat butter in skillet and add mushrooms and green onions
Saute over medium heat until mushrooms are tender then stir in flour, parsley and salt
Add milk and bring to a boil
Stir until thick, then add wine or water and lemon juice
Boil one minute, then pour sauce over salmon
 Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes easily.


This was a great alternative to our typical salmon recipes.


 

Recipe Monday - Easy Rubbed Salmon

This recipe is thanks to my mom who one day while we were on vacation made us all salmon and I was like wat?

Salmon
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Seasoning Salt
Garlic powder
Paprika
Lemon pepper

Heat oil on medium high in a frying pan.
Liberally shake each seasoning over the salmon and rub them in with your hands.
Place the salmon pink-side down in the pan and cook for five to ten minutes depending on thickness.
Flip and cook for another few minutes.

It's the most delicious salmon I've ever had...and the easiest to make.






 

Recipe Monday - Fruity Salmon with a Kick

The best thing about fish and steak when you can afford them, is that they consistently provide a gourmet meal for the family, and yet take just ten minutes to cook.

I have tried all kinds of fruity sauces for my salmon, but there was always something missing. This recipe provides that something...just a little kick to bring out the flavors of both the fish and the sauce. So, without further ado...


Pineapple Jalapeno Salmon:

• 1 cup white rice
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 4 salmon fillets
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 fresh pineapple
• 1 jalapeno

Directions

1. Cook the rice according to the package directions.
2. Whisk together the maple syrup and mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. 
3. Heat broiler. Place the salmon in a foil-lined 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Season with the salt and pepper.
4. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into quarters, then cut each quarter into ½-inch-thick triangles. Scatter the pineapple and jalapeño around the salmon.
5. Brush the salmon with the syrup mixture and broil for 5 to 7 minutes or until it flakes easily and is the same color throughout.
6. Serve the salmon and pineapple with the rice and drizzle with the remaining glaze, if desired.

The peppers offset the pineapple and maple sauce perfectly. This is on our family's favorite list now. Of course, the kids get fish sticks. There's no accounting for taste, I guess.
