Sunday Salmon

I like to end the weekend with a hearty but healthy meal. Marinated salmon, roasted okra, faux creamed spinach and cheese toast satisfied my craving.

Exotic Salmon Marinade

You will need:

6 Tbsp honey

1/4 cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup hoisin sauce

1/2 tsp ginger, minced

1 Tbsp canned green chilies

1 Tbsp brown sugar

4 salmon steaks

vegetable oil

salt and pepper

Combine the first six ingredients

Rinse salmon and pat dry really good

Place in a glass dish

Brush salmon with vegetable oil

Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper (use more than you think)

Coat with marinade

Broil on high, 4 minutes on each side

Faux Creamed Spinach

If want to add a bit of richness to regular sauteed spinach, my twist is great.

Saute a bag of spinach with a smidgen of butter and 1/4 cup of whole milk.

Roasted Okra

I learned this okra cooking method from the man at the farm stand. It is now my favorite way to cook okra.

Toss okra with olive oil, s&p and a light sprinkle of nutmeg

Bake at 400 degrees for about ten minutes

Tiny Cheese Toast

If you have tons of small pieces of bread, make tiny cheese toasts! I have bags of bread end pieces in my freezer and love to make little cheese toasts.

Dab butter

Sprinkle whatever cheese you have on hand

Broil for a few minutes
