TEASE YOUR TASTEBUDS

Baked salmon steaks are a delightful treat and not outrageously expensive. Tease your taste buds with this combination of sweet and spicy. Add your favorite green vegetable, rice, and a cool white wine like Pinot Grigio for a delicious and quick dinner.

Salmon Steaks
3 salmon filets no more than 1 inch thick
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup Dijon mustard
Splash white wine
2 tbsp. butter
3 green onions sliced

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Pam aluminum foil and lay the piece on a cookie sheet. Place the fish on the foil.

Combine sugar, mustard, and wine in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.

Spread the blend evenly over the salmon to cover it. Bake for 15 minutes or until fish flakes.

Turn the oven to broil. Move the fish to 4 inches from the heat. Broil for 2 minutes or until golden.

While the salmon is baking prepare the green onion topping. Melt the butter in a small frying pan. (Add a tablespoon of pine nuts for extra crunch.) Add the onion and sauté until the onion is soft and lightly colored. Set aside.

Add a dollop of green onions to the top of each salmon steak and serve.

I'll be back next Monday. Until then...

Bon Appétit!

  4. Yum! Love salmon! And you had me at Pinot Grigio! Well done! I love using maple syrup instead of brown sugar, but that's the Canadian in me! LOL!
