a look at the pecan salmon


It really is delicious.

I only used one tablespoon of the Dijon mustard and it turned out just great.

Pecan Salmon

4 salmon fillets - lightly salt and pepper

3 T honey
3 T dijon mustard
2T butter melted
Combine honey, dijon and melted butter. Spread over the salmon fillets.

1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup bread crumbs
3T fresh parsley chopped
Combine pecan, bread crumbs and parsley. Layer over the honey & mustard.

Bake at 425 for 10-18 minutes based on thickness of the fillets.


I haven't tried this yet, but I love salmon and when I can afford to buy some again I will be making this wonderful looking recipe. (I thank my friend, Sarah, for this one)

Potato, Corn, Cheese, & Bacon Chowder

This is super yummy and healthy- perfect for a cold day. It just BARELY fed my family of 4, so you'll probably want to at least double the recipe.

3 cups fat-free milk
1 can cream of potato OR cr. of mushroom, OR cr. of chicken soup
4 cups frozen Southern style hash brown potatoes
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1+ shredded sharp cheddar cheese
OPTIONAL: cooked, chopped chicken
crispy, crumbled bacon
salt and pepper

Mix milk and soup in a large pot. Stir in hash browns and corn (and chicken if you want it). Bring to boil on high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until potatoes and corn are thawed and soup is hot. Stir in 1 cup cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.

Ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle with cheese and bacon. It's REALLY good with rolls or bread
sticks.
