Pan Seared Mediterranean Salmon
Pan Seared Mediterranean Salmon is an easy meal that comes together (from prep-time to completion) in about 30 minutes – perfect for a weeknight meal! The salmon is pan seared, which gives you a big return on texture and flavor. The skin is crispy, and the center is tender and moist. Once you add the accompanying ingredients you have a burst of Mediterranean flavors. This meal doesn’t take a lot of effort to make but will taste like it came from a restaurant. The recipe can be found here. Start by heating 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon filet(s) with salt and place in the hot pan, flesh side down (skin side up). Sear for 4-5 minutes. You want to season the salmon right before it goes in the skillet otherwise it will start to draw moisture out and leave you with some pretty dry fish to … Continue reading

Oven Baked Cajun Salmon
Oven Baked Cajun Salmon is a great weeknight meal! It’s a one pan meal that is easy to assemble and will leave you perfectly satisfied. The salmon is tender and not too filling, and the veggies are roasted to perfection. The Cajun seasoning gives off a bold, spicy flavor with a slight earthiness. It’s an all-purpose seasoning that I use on a regular basis. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon on the baking sheet. If you did not have the skin remove from the salmon at the grocery store that is just fine! Place the skin side down on the baking sheet and it will effortlessly fall off when done baking so no need to worry about removing it yourself. If you did have the skin removed at the grocery store, … Continue reading

Himalayan Salt Block Salmon with Garlic & Lime
Himalayan Salt Blocks are a simple and fairly inexpensive way to cook your food. The non-stick surface sears meat perfectly, the heat is distributed evenly throughout the entire cooking surface, the seasoning is built-in (because it’s a block of salt), and you can chill it to serve chilled food (think charcuterie board, etc.). We like to use our Himalayan Salt Block for grilling. The thought process here is low and slow, but it’s worth it! The fun to watch a block of salt cook your food but it also tastes amazing. The meat absorbs some of the salt while cooking but don’t worry, it’s not saturated with salt…just a subtle hint. You want to add the Himalayan Salt Block to the grill over the lowest heat setting and gradually increase the temperature until the desired temperature is reached. This will take time! If you heat too fast, you risk damaging … Continue reading

Bourbon Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon
Salmon is slowly becoming one of my favorite seafood dishes to make for a weeknight meal. It’s healthy, fills you up without leaving you feeling “stuffed”, and can be prepared a variety of ways. I most commonly bake salmon but have also tried my hand at grilling salmon. The recipe I want to share with you today calls for baked salmon, but only after it’s been marinated and absorbs some lovely flavors. The recipe is for Bourbon Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon. I’m not a big fan on bourbon in general, and if you aren’t either, don’t let that deter you from trying this dish. Bourbon is in the marinade, but you can’t taste the alcohol because it’s complemented with other seasonings and spices. The marinade creates this lovely crust while baking that is both sweet and savory, and the salmon is cooked to perfection making it super flakey and moist. … Continue reading

Cedar Plank Lemon Pepper Salmon
Have you ever used a wooden board to grill? These so called “planks” are wooden board that are soaked in water and set over direct heat on a grill and used as a means of cooking food. It’s known as plank grilling or planking. Planking is a fun way to grill! The planks get a slight char to them that creates just a hint of smokey flavor that enhances the food. I typically buy the cedar plank because I like the taste the plank gives off, and also enjoy the smell. Cedar planks are the most common, but you can also buy cherry, hickory, maple, and more. You can grill fish, protein, or vegetables on planks. Fish tends to be the most common and is a great form of grilling fish because it doesn’t stick to the grates. Salmon is my favorite fish to cook on a cedar plank. If … Continue reading

Teriyaki Glazed Baked Salmon
Teriyaki Glazed Baked Salmon is the perfect dinner for any night of the week. It’s flaky, juicy, and packed with flavor. You will be completely satisfied after this meal! It comes together fairly quick as well so you can even make this when short on time. The recipe can be found here. Start by making the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, garlic, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Place the salmon in a large Ziploc bag. Pour ½ of the sauce mixture into the bag with the salmon, making sure to coat the salmon. Make sure the Ziploc bag is sealed first! Refrigerate the salmon for at least 1 hour but up to 4 hours to let it marinate in the sauce. You can make the sauce the night before and marinate the salmon in the morning … Continue reading
