Salmon… stuffed and smothered…

This is a recipe that even the fish hater in my family likes…

Like most of my recipes… amounts are approx…

butterfly a Salmon filet and stuff with crumbled goat cheese, tarragon, salt and pepper…. and place in a baking dish…

In a bowl Mix together about 1/4c of sour cream and 3 tbsp of Mayonnaise, add to that add about 3 tsp of mustard, chopped green onion (I use 2), about 3 tbsp of parmesan, and about 1 tbsp each of tarragon and dill, a bit of pepper and a bit of salt to taste… (might not need it depending on the parmesan)

spread over the stuffed salmon fillets… (you can reserve some of the sauce for dipping)

bake at 450 for about 10 min per inch of thickness…

stuffed…

out of the oven…

ready to eat…

Pizza night…

We had a pizza night on sunday… in our house that means that we make pizza.. I love when we do this… Xavier helps grate the cheese, put the sauce on, the pepperoni…

Here is theirs…

and mine… with onions, mushrooms, broccoli, zuchini, and peppers…

and then for a treat…

I made this for dessert …

I took a bit of extra pizza dough… spread some butter on it, sprinkled a bit of sugar and cinnamon… sliced some apple pieces quite thinly and spread them out and then made a crumble with oats, sugar and butter and put that on top and baked for about 15 min…

this is before it went in the oven…

and my slice….

Homemade Sushi…

I make this about once a week…

I am addicted…

Hunan Dumplings

To make Dumplings

1/2 lb ground raw pork
2 tbsp finely chopped water chestnuts
1 tbsp tamari
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp sesame seed oil
about 36 wonton wrappers

Chicken or veggie stock

Green onions (chopped)

mix all ingredients together and fill wonton wrappers. Bring a large pot with veggie or chicken stock and chopped green onions to a boil and add dumplings in batches of a dozen for a few minutes (they will float when done)… the pork will cook while boiling… (this makes a good soup in itself with the broth and wontons)

When done, drain and add Peanut sauce

Peanut Sauce

1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup hot water
4 tsp tamari
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp sambal Olek or other garlic chile sauce
2 tsp of chopped green onions

heat all the ingredients on low heat in a sauce pan and add to dumplings… (great sauce for fresh spring rolls also)

serve with rice and garnish with green onions..
