Fish

I have talked before about my love hate relationship with Salmon. I just can't seem to get it cooked the way I like it twice or more in a row. I try different things and one day it will come out nice and the next day it won't come out very well at all. I have used the oven, stove top, and my george foreman grill to cook it and I think it has only come out well a couple of times. The other times it tastes like one of those custom boxes that you can get from the moving companies!

Well, try out this recipe for size. Maple Salmon..should be good.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound salmon

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, garlic salt, and pepper.

2. Place salmon in a shallow glass baking dish, and coat with the maple syrup mixture. Cover the dish, and marinate salmon in the refrigerator 30 minutes, turning once.

3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

4. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, and bake salmon uncovered 20 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork.

You put garlic, pasta, and shrimp together and you got yourself a fantastic meal if I do say so myself! I love all three and I would love to try this recipe with it! Now, only if the shrimp wasn't so expensive around here I could actually do just that!

4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
3 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 1/2 lb fresh medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and tail shells removed
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons butter

DIRECTIONS

1. In 5-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, cook pasta as directed on package. Drain; return to saucepan. Stir in spinach, tomatoes and 2 teaspoons of the oil. Cover to keep warm.

Fish is a fantastic source of protein and nutrients. I have come to the realization that it really isn't so bad to eat either. In fact, I love fish not. Maybe not all fish but there are some fish that I really like. Tuna is definitely one of them. Who doesn't love Tuna? It is a very versatile fish and can be put into practically everything! Try this grilled tuna salad next time you want some fish.



INGREDIENTS

20 ounces fresh tuna steaks, 1 inch thick
3 tablespoons white wine
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, minced
6 cups packed torn salad greens
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat grill for medium heat.

2. Place tuna in a glass dish. Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the wine, olive oil, red wine vinegar, rosemary, pepper, salt and garlic. Pour 2 tablespoons over fish and turn to coat. Marinate 15 to 30 minutes, turning once. Reserve remaining vinaigrette for salad dressing.

3. Coat grill rack with cooking spray and place on grill to heat 1 minute. Place tuna on grill 4 to 6 inches over hot coals. Cover with lid or tent with foil. Cook, turning once, just until tuna begins to flake easily when tested with a fork, about 7 minutes. Discard marinade.

4. Arrange salad greens on 4 plates. Place hot tuna on greens and add cherry tomatoes. Stir remaining vinaigrette and drizzle over salads.
