Salmon with Creamy Horseradish Sauce

I had said I would share my weekly salmon recipes with you and I have fallen behind.  It may be because of the holidays or because of my commitments to the various baking and cooking groups.  Regardless, I want to get one in, today.  I have not had a bad recipe yet and perhaps with salmon, there is no such thing.  I am sharing this with Tempt my Tummy Tuesdays. Do they ever have a lot of recipes over there.  Go, take a look.  You just might find several interesting meals.

Salmon Fillets with Creamy Horseradish Sauce   (This was supposed to be grilled but I baked it in the oven.)

SAUCE  **pareve means not dairy nor meat

  • ¾ cup sour cream (or you can use **pareve milk heated and thickened with cornstarch, adding salt, pepper and dill weed to tasted – cool and use as sour cream)   (I used Tofutti sour cream which is non dairy)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsps. prepared horseradish  (I used white)
  • 2 tbsps. chopped fresh or dried basil
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice, fresh or bottled
  • 1 tsp. soy sauce

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill.

SALMON

  • Nonstick vegetable oil spray
  • 3 tbsps. vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp. prepared horseradish
  • 1 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced     IMG_4869
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. coarsely ground pepper
  • 6 1-inch-thick salmon fillets

Spray baking pan with nonstick spray.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Whisk oil, horseradish, soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper in another bowl. Brush oil mixture over both sides of the salmon fillets. Bake the salmon until just opaque in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the salmon to plates. Serve with sauce.   (I baked it for about ten minutes a side in the oven.

Makes 6 servings.  This was super delicious.  I was concerned the horseradish would give it a harsh taste but it was just right mixed with the rest of the ingredients.  I recommend this one.

Triple Chocolate Brownies – Nigella – I Heart Cooking Clubs

How can you go wrong with Triple Chocolate Brownies, especially from Nigella Lawson.  A winning combination………………………..for sure………

This was easy to make.  I cut the ingredients in half.  I could not find it, in my heart, to use three sticks of margarine. You would think this was from Paula, not Nigella.  The brownie was good but I think it needs an icing and I may end up icing it.  The kids would like the icing, I know, so if I want an extra hug, I should make that icing.
