Fish
This appetizer is so simple and so delicious! I know there are many people that say you should not combine seafood with cheese, well they have never tried this recipe! So GOOD! Robby was a little skeptical at first but all it took was one bite before he was reaching for another piece! I found this recipe over at www.jamhands.com but felt that the measurements were a little skimpy so I doubled the recipe for the topping and I am thrilled I did! The recipe below are MY measurements.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound cooked shrimp
2 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 large ciabatta loaf, sliced in half
1 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup fresh dill
1/2 cup fresh chives
3 cloves of garlic
2 cups cheddar jack cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the tails from the shrimp and set aside. In a large sauté pan melt the butter over medium heat, add the shrimp and the old bay seasoning. Cook for just a couple minutes making sure the shrimp is well coated with the seasoning. Remove from heat and let cool. When cool chop the shrimp into pieces. Place the shrimp into a medium bowl with mayo,garlic, chives, dill and cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently until well combined. Place the ciabatta bread on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up. Spread you shrimp mixture onto both sides of the bread and bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven, slice into sticks and serve warm.
Enjoy,
I will be the first to admit we do not eat as much fish as we should and most of the time when we have it we are usually out to eat! I came across this recipe at Cooking Classy and loved it as soon as I read it! This was easy and I had most of the ingredients on hand. I love it when that happens! I served the salmon over a mushroom risotto but you can simply serve it over white rice as there is plenty of sauce for added flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4 salmon fillets (mine were about 5 ounces)
2 scallions chopped
Teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water, divided
3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 Tablespoons honey
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small saucepan whisk together sow sauce, 1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of water, Brown sugar, honey, garlic and lemon juice. Bring mixture to a light boil over medium heat. Whisk together cornstarch with remaining water and add to sauce. Cook mixture stirring constantly until it has thickened slightly, allowing it to boil for several minutes. It will thicken slightly as it cools. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Spray a cooking dish with non stick spray. Set aside about 1/4 cup of sauce. Place salmon in your baking dish and coat both sides of fish with sauce. Bake in a preheated oven for 15-19 minutes or until salmon has cooked through. Mine took about 17 minutes. Serve with reserved sauce and garnish with scallions.
Enjoy,
