Duck Sauce Salmon


I  know this is a strange name for a salmon dish but it is the duck sauce that made this into such an enjoyable meal.

I have to preface this by saying, I don't usually buy duck sauce, not that there is anything wrong with it, but I like to make my own marinades and sauces and usually do.  My daughter, on the other hand, keeps buying large bottles of the stuff and when I last looked, I found three bottles on the shelf.  It is time to use it up after having a talk with her about duck sauce.  She tends to collect mayonnaise also.  Did I deprive her as a child?

When I was making my salmon, I was thinking a honey-mustard marinade.  When, I opened the refrigerator door, I  saw a bottle of opened duck sauce.  Wonder who put it there?  Not me. I changed my choice of recipe and took out the duck sauce.  I made a great salmon with it and some crumbs.

Duck Sauce Salmon (adapted from allrecipes - recipe using mustard instead of duck sauce)

Ingredients

2 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
2 tablespoons duck sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup crumbs from a chip such as tortilla chips or potato chips
olive oil spray
Method:
 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F .
Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil. 
Place salmon skin-side down on foil. 
Spread a thin layer of duck sauce on the top of each fillet, and season with  pepper. 
Top with crumbs,  then spray with olive oil.
 Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Eat and Enjoy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
