Dill Salmon

This is my go to recipe whenever I want something nice that is also really easy to make.

You'll need the following:
Salmon
Olive Oil
Dill
Salt & Pepper
Veggie (asparagus, broccoli or spinach work best)
Quinoa

Preheat oven to 350.
Coat salmon in olive oil, then pat on dill. Add salt and pepper.
Cook uncovered till done (about 12 minutes)

Prepare Quinoa according to package. Add salt and pepper when done.

Steam the veggies while everything else is cooking. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.

If you do it right, everything will be done at the same time. Serve and enjoy.

Baked Beer Salmon

A very easy recipe.

Take one Salmon Fillet, put in baking dish, add smidgen of olive oil, dash of salt and pepper. Then add a few oz of beer to the bottom of the pan. Different beers give different flavors. I used a dark coffee stout this time, gave everything a nice nutty roasty flavor.

I also added asparagus (just threw in the pan next to the salmon). And made quinoa on the stove. Together you have one awesome meal.

Paired with a Sam Adams Nobel Lager (pictured). Crisp and refreshing pairs well with the light meal... although I think an amber lager with its slightly nutty flavor would match better since it was cooked in stout.



Different background this time. But my desk is in focus instead of my meal. It's not as edible.

Salmon Pasta

This recipe is an old favorite of mine. Very simple, very tasty.

Ingredients:
Salmon
Dill
Pasta - Fettuccine works best
Flour
Skim Milk
Butter
Spinach (optional)
Parmesan Cheese

Poach Salmon.

Meanwhile, cook pasta. The trick with pasta these days is to make sure you get a full pound. Many companies are lowering box sizes down to 15-12 oz. Don't buy them. Also, for some really weird reason, i like my Fettuccine to stick together when it cooks for this dish. So i barely stirred it.

Meanwhile meanwhile, make sauce. Melt a bit of butter (about one tablespoon) in a pot, slowly add about two heaping spoonfuls of flour. Stir in milk till desired consistency. Add dill, spinach (i forgot to buy it), and a lot of cheese (1/4 cup?) I was almost out of cheese because it was covered in mold and i had to slice off most of it.

After Salmon is done, flake with fork - or, to save dishes, the flour spoon. Add to sauce. Add lots of pepper and salt.

Drain pasta well so the water does not make sauce runny. Add to sauce, mix well and eat.
















Tip: To add a little tang to cream sauces made with little butter & skim milk, one may add a tad of mustard. I didn't for this dish though.
