Yay for fish! One of my top favorite fish is salmon. It's gorgeous, light and yet so easy to cook! A foolproof recipe is one that I've come up with. This recipe has converted non-salmon eaters into salmon-loving eaters! I like to serve this one with a fresh salad and either couscous or quinoa, but be creative; you can customize any of my recipes to satisfy your family's taste buds! Here's what you'll need:
Boneless Salmon Filet (use fresh!)
1 lemon; squeezed to make 2 T. juice
2 T. Brown Mustard
2 Shallots; minced
1 Clove Garlic; minced
1/4 C. Packed Brown Sugar
1 t. Worcestershire Sauce
1 t. Soy Sauce
Pinch of Crushed Red Pepper
Salt & Pepper
Start off by preheating your oven at 400 degrees. Prep your baking sheet by putting a layer of foil and using cooking spray to ensure your salmon won't stick! Then, get a large skillet and heat up over a medium/high heat. Add olive oil and allow to heat up. Add shallots and cook for about 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and allow to sweat for about 1 minute. Then, add brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and crushed red pepper. Mix and allow to cook until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat. Next, put the salmon on your prepared baking sheet (skin side down if you have skin) and brush the fish with the glaze. Place in the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes or until you see the salmon has changed color. Put another layer of the glaze on the fish and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Do NOT over cook the salmon! It should easily break away with a fork and have "flaky" texture. Add another layer of glaze and it's ready to enjoy! Leave a comment if you have a question! :)
