Sweet Mustard-Glazed Salmon Fillets
4 6 to 8 oz frozen salmont fillets
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Place the frozen salmon fillets in a 1 gallon freezer bag. Whisk together the next four ingredients and pour in a sandwich bag. Add the sandwich bag to the 1 gallon freezer bag. Label and freeze.
To serve, thaw the salmon and glaze. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper. Place the salmon and glze in a 13x9x2 inch baking dish and turn the salmon to coat with the glaze. Bake until the fish flakes when forked, 10 to 15 minutes.
It is that easy. I have served it with a Broccoli Rice Casserole in the past.
Here is the recipe for that
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 10 oz can crewam of mushroom soup
8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 cup cooked rice
Cooking Day
In a large, covered saucepan, cook broccoli in a small amount of boiling water for 6 - 8 minutes, until crisp tender. Drain well. In a large skillet, saute onion in melted butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add soup, then cheese, stirring until cheese is melted and well blended. Add broccoli and rice to soup mixture. Place in a lined 9 x 13 baking dish and freeze, using foil and plastic wrap method.
Serving Day
Unwrap, return to original baking dish, and thaw completely. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
End the meal with a wonderful dessert of Caramel Brownies.
4 1 oz squared unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup flour
14 oz bag caramels, unwrapped
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 cups pecans, chopped
12 oz chocolate chips
Yield 4 dozen brownies
Melt butter and chocolate in microwave or in a double boiler on stovetop. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar with melted chocolate and butter. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and blend until well mixed. Spread half of the batter into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan or disposable foil pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. While first layer is baking, melt caramels and cream in microwave on high for 3 minutes. Blend with a spoon and add 1 cup of pecans. Once brownies are removed from oven, immediately spread caramel mixture on top of brownie layer. Sprinkle chocolate chips over caramel layer. Pour rest of batter on top of chocolate chip layer. Sprinkle with remaining pecans. Return brownies to oven and bake 30 more minutes. Cool brownies completely in pan. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze.
Serving Day
Thaw completely. Enjoy!!
Add a vegetable or a salad and your meal is complete. I set out the food the night before. I put the rice broccoli in the oven first and then add the salmon 15 minutes into the baking of the rice dish. Then they should both come out at the same time and your meal will be hot and delicious.
My mouth is watering just writing about this meal. YUMMY.
