Salmon With Buttered Brown Sauce

Very yummy

 Buttered Brown Sauce...

Salmon With Buttered Brown Sauce

This is super simple with the salmon being baked and then you just have to make a simple white sauce to accompany it. I had it ready to eat in about 15 minutes. ( I got this recipe from The Tasty Kitchen website)

1. Preheat your oven to 450ºF.

2. Place the fillet, skin side down on a roasting pan, sprinkle with sea salt and place in the oven. Bake until it flakes apart with a fork, about 15 minutes.

3. While the fish is cooking, place the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Melt and cook until the butter browns. Watch it carefully and swirl the pan as you go, it will turn fairly quickly and you don’t want it completely burnt, just a light brown color.

4. Once the butter browns, add the flour and stir, then quickly add the heavy cream and wine.

5. Stir the sauce until slightly thickened, then remove from heat and add some salt and pepper to taste.

6. Remove the salmon from the oven and serve with a little of the sauce drizzled over the top and use some kitchen scissors to snip a few chives over the top.

• 1-½ pound Salmon Fillet With Skin On
• Sea Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• 1 Tablespoon Flour
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• ½ cups White Wine
• Kosher Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
• Chives For Garnish

Spicy Shrimp Pasta Bake

2 lbs. shrimp, cleaned, peeled, & deveined (you can use frozen)

16 oz. jar of salsa (the finest diced tomatoes works best)

9 oz. angel hair pasta {I used about 3/4 of a box}

1 tsp. dried oregano, crushed

1 tsp. dried basil, crushed

1 tsp. crushed red pepper

1/3 cup freshly chopped parsley

1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese

1 cup plain yogurt

1 1/2 cup half & half

2 eggs

1/2 cup grated Monterrey Jack cheese

First make sure you cook your pasta and then drain.  In a separate bowl, combine eggs, half & half, yogurt, swiss & feta cheeses, parsley, basil, and oregano.  Mix until well blended.  Set aside.

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter and spread half the pasta over the bottom of the dish.

Cover the pasta with salsa, put half the shrimp on top of the salsa, and then cover it with the monterrey jack. 

Now go ‘head and add the remaining pasta and shrimp.

Now pour the egg mixture  right over the top of the pasta & shrimp.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until bubbly.  Let it stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
