Balsamic Glazed Salmon

It has been a busy week, starting on Tuesday with my grandson's wedding.  It is the custom, in Judaism, to have festive meals, for the entire week, following the wedding.   While it is nice to be wined and dined, each day, it is also tiring.  Thus, I am exhausted from having too much fun - a nice way to tire oneself out.

Now, the Jewish Sabbath is upon us which means more festive meals.  I decided to empty my refrigerator and throw it all together to make, hopefully, some delicious meals. What do I have, one zucchini, some frozen corn, apricot butter, hot pepper sauce, Balsamic vinegar, salmon, carrots, onions, scallions, and roasted tomatoes.  Additional produce shows potatoes, onions, bell peppers and cherry tomatoes.  Let's see what I can do with these.

Balsamic Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

  • 2 (5 ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon white wine
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 onion, sliced thin
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Mix  white wine, honey, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for about 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  3. Arrange salmon fillets on foil-lined baking sheet. Brush fillets with balsamic glaze, and sprinkle with sliced onions.
  Bake in preheated oven for 20minutes, or until flesh flakes easily with a fork. Use a spatula to transfer fillets to serving platter, leaving the skin behind on the foil.

    Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

    Image
    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.

    Image
    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...

    Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

    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 ...
