Salmon in the Oven

First you want to oil the tray your using or what I think is better is to foil the entire thing for easy removal. Place salmon down and top off with some oil, paprika, lemon zest, minced garlic, pepper, salt. You can place some of your favorite veggies on the sides. I used baby zucchini and crimini mushrooms. Place in the oven for about 30 minutes covered with foil and then take foil off for another 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon.

Party Food!

So back in February I wanted to throw a dinner birthday event at my house. I wanted to make it intimate so I only invited a small group of friends and cooked the entire food feast. First off I had a few varieties of salad and of course the dressings were from scratch too. Caprese, mini ahi tuna sliders, tuna tartar, quinoa salad, orzo pasta, bruschetta, mexican and middle eastern table full of yummy things to munch on. A lot of these items are already listed in my blog the only things that were created just for the party were the ahi tuna sliders and the wonton goat cheese bites.

For the burgers I created a roasted red pepper spread. First you need to place a few spoons of light mayo in a food processor with the following: minced garlic, paprika, pepper, flat leaf parsley. Spread mixture on either side of the mini burger buns which are vegan and can be found a trader joes for about $ 1.20 for a pack of 8 buns. To cook the tuna I simply marinated them in hoision suace, pepper and soy sauce. You don't need to marinate for too long. Then I just simply pan friend them in very little oil until cooked.

For the Wontons I sprayed some muffin trays and placed sheets of wonton wrappers in each of them. bake for about 5 minutes on 350, but stay close because they burn quick. I filled each one with a little spoon of herbed goat cheese and my home made olive tapenade.
