Dill and lemon baked salmon

I usually do this one on the BBQ but the day I made this it snowed so we did it in the oven.

Ingredients:

One whole salmon  - you can remove the head or leave it on I like food that is not looking at me
1-2 lemons sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1 sliced onion
6 or so cloves of garlic
Large bunch of fresh dill - you could use dry if you wanted

Directions:

Clean salmon inside and out, remove head and tail if preferred.
On top of a sheet of foil larger then your fish, place one layer of lemons, onion, dill, and garlic.

Lay fish on top
Inside fish place another layer of lemon, onion, dill and garlic

 

Repeat on the top then place a layer of foil and roll edges to make a nice package

Cook 45 minutes in a 375 oven or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

To serve I find the easiest method is to slice down the backbone but not too deep so you cut the bones off, then across to make fillet sized piece, slide off the spine. Run your finger lightly over it to make sure you didn't miss any small pin bones but most should stay with the spine

Quinoa and seafood teriyaki stirfry

MM I love throw together meals that turn out amazing! This was my lunch adventure on the rare days my kids get mac n cheese. Also a great way to use up left over quinoa. You don't have to add the seafood but I am the only one in my house who likes shrimp so I take advantage of the cooking just for me moments. This will make one lunch sized serving but obviously you can add more for a whole family meal.

Ingredients

3 stalks asparagus chopped
2 green onions ends and stalk, diced
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 clove fine diced garlic
1 cup crab meat
1 cup shrimp
1/2 cup quinoa (precooked!)
2tbs olive oil
Teriyaki sauce to taste

Directions:

In wok heat oil
Add veggies and cook until half done (I like mine a bit crisp still)
Add seafood cook until shrimp turns nice and pink
Add quinoa and teriyaki sauce
Heat until warm through
Drizzle with more sauce if you like and serve

Damn good Salmon

This is a version of a dish called profanity salmon. I got told since I changed it so much I should rename it and make it my own so I am just going to call it Damn Good!

Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

1 teaspoon sraraci hot sauce

1 (1 1/2 pound) salmon fillet

salt and pepper to taste

1 green and 1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 onion, finely chopped
Phylo dough (2 sheets per fillet)
olive oil

Preheat oven to 375
Clean and prepare your fish. I kept the skin on but I would probably remove it next time because the dough on the bottom is inedible unless you like fish skin which I don't.

Make your sauce by combining hot sauce, terriaki sauce and mayo

Slice your peppers and onions

It's important to have everything ready before opening your dough as it dries out quickly. Cover any you are not using with a slightly damn tea towel or paper towel helps prevent this.

Lay one sheet of phylo dough on the counter top. If your dough is sticky lay it on a sheet of parchment or wax paper. With a pastry brush lightly brush sheet with oil. You don't need very much. Layer a second sheet on top the first.

Lay your salmon fillet in the middle of the sheet, top with 2-3 spoonfuls of your sauce, top with peppers and onions and fold your dough around it into a pocket. Don't worry if you rip the dough its forgiving once its baked.

Gently transfer to a parchment lined bake sheet (or lightly grease your sheet)

Bake for 25 minutes
