Honey Dijon Garlic Salmon

Pinterest


Ingredients:
  • 2 10-12 ounce fresh Copper River salmon (cleaned, pin-bones removed)
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2-3 tbsp. parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp. honey Dijon mustard (this is the one I used)
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • A pinch of salt
  • ⅛ cup of olive oil
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a large baking sheet with foil. Place salmon pieces on top of the foil and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, parsley, honey Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil. Whisk well until well-combined then using a pastry brush, brush on the sauce onto the salmon pieces.
  3. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes (or depending on how thick your slices of salmon are, you may need to reduce the time by 2-3 minutes or increase it by 2-3 minutes – just keep an eye on it!)
  4. Serve with your favorite sides (we served it with a side of Israeli couscous).

Strawberry & Cream Slab Pie

Strawberry & Cream Slab Pie
PREP TIME
20 Minute/s
COOK TIME
25 Minute/s
TOTAL TIME
45 Minute/s
Ingredients

  • 2 store bought pie crusts
  • 1 pint strawberries, large dice
  • 4 TBS Sugar, divided in half
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 TBS cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, 2 TBS of sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the diced strawberries, 1/4 cup of sugar, juice of 1/2 lemon and the 1 TBS of cornstarch.
  4. Roll out and trim your pie dough so that it is approximately 14" x 10." This measurement is not at all important so long as the two pie crusts are equal in size and fit in your pan.
  5. Lay one crust onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Spread with cream cheese mixture. Top with strawberry mixture. You may have a bit left over.
  6. You want to leave about 1/2" around the edges and try not to overfill your crust.
  7. Lay your top piece on, cutting three 1-2" slits in the top.
  8. Using a fork, seal the edges.
  9. Brush egg wash over the top and edges.
  10. Bake for 20-30 minutes. It's a large spread because it depends on how thin you roll out your crust. Ours was done at 25 minutes but we watched it like a hawk from 20 minutes on.
  11. Let sit until completely cool. OR dive right in and serve with vanilla ice cream. Heaven.
  12. **This works just as well without the cream cheese. Try mixing in blueberries and raspberries too!
