SoMe nEw ReCiPeS

It has been forever since I have added anything to this thing. We misplaced our camera since our move and I was planning to put a bunch of things up but couldn't take any pic of the recipes. Here are a couple good ones that we have tried...

Panko Crusted Salmon

1. teaspoons olive oil
2. 4 pieces thickly cut, boneless salmon(each 6 oz)
3. salt and pepper to taste
4. 2 Tbsp honey mustard
5. 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
6. 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs (I prefer Progresso brand by General Mills haha)
7. 2 Tbsp chopped Italian Parsley
8. 1/2 teaspoon hungarian sweet paprika.. This is quiet expensive for such a small item, substitute cayenne pepper

Notes: Paprika is made from special kinds of sweet red peppers, which are dried and ground. Varieties include the highly regarded and sweet Hungarian paprika = rose paprika = sweet paprika = Hungarian pepper and the cheaper and more pungent Spanish paprika = Spanish pepper = pimentón = pimenton. Cookbooks that call for paprika are usually referring to Hungarian paprika. Substitutes: cayenne pepper (much hotter)

Directions-
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (convection or regular). Set the salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. In a small bowl, combine the honey mustard and 1 teaspoon of the thyme. In another small bowl, mix the panko with the remaining 1 teaspoon of thyme, 4 teaspoons of olive oil, parsley, and paprika. Add salt and pepper (a light sprinkle).
3. Using a small spoon, spread the mustard mixture on the salmon; top with the bread crumb mixture.
4. Roast the salmon for 12-14 minutes (test at 10) or until it is almost completely firm to the touch and flakes when poked with a fork. I always bake it longer, so more like 16-18. Serve at once


We served this up with garlic potatoes.. that was too strong to go with this meal. The salmon is very flavorful so I suggest something light as a side like a salad.
