Lime Almond Salmon
I d
on’t know about anyone else but I look at a recipe and close the book or magazine or shut down the website and go to work with one or two main ingredients, in my head. I can’t say my recipe is adapted from the particular recipe since there is no similarity except for an ingredient or two. This recipe is a case of that. Originally, there was a recipe in Southern Living 2005 that had lime juice and almonds in it. I remember they broiled it but that is all I remember. I think, it is honest, for me to say, this is my recipe.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt tablespoon of margarine on bottom of baking pan.
- Cover the margarine with chopped red onions.
- Place salmon fillets on top of onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle parsley over fillets, followed by the almonds.
- Place in oven and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve.
As you can see, this is an easy recipe but the results are huge. Put in little time, and eat big.
This does not have a burst of flavor. It is subtle but present. I think, it is the almonds that make this dish.
Pepper Steak – My Girl Paula
This week, we are cooking pepper steak, a recipe, I make quite often. Paula’s recipe found on page 77 of The Lady and Sons, Too is a basic recipe, similar to my own. It is a quick and easy one. I have not eaten it yet. I left off the tomatoes to be added, tomorrow, when we plan to have it for dinner. I am sure, based on the ingredients, it will be very good.
The only differences, tonight, was I used Tamari instead of soy sauce and left out the garlic salt. Join us at My Girl Paula and have fun and good food.
Add tomato wedges and reheat for a delicious dinner. Serve with brown rice and mushrooms.
