Teriyaki Salmon with Sriracha Cream Sauce

I'm a pretty big fan of salmon and am always looking for new ways to make it.

So after seeing this recipe mentioned on this blog more than once,

I decided to head to the store to get the ingredients I didn't have

and made it for dinner for myself not too long ago.

After just one bite I knew I would be making the recipe again.

And of course I wanted to share it's deliciousness with you guys!

I can't eat something super yummy and not share it.

So enough talking, let me show you how it's made!

The Goods:

Salmon

Cornstarch

Soy Sauce

Brown Sugar

Ground Ginger

Garlic Powder

Honey

Mayonnaise

Sriracha

Sweetened Condensed Milk

Combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Sriracha 

and 1 1/2 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk.

Set aside.

Mix together 1/4 cup of water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.

Set aside.

Add 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoons honey 

and 1 cup water to a small saucepan. 

Heat over medium until simmering.

Stir in the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook until sauce thickens.

It should take about 2 minutes and coat the back of a spoon once done.

Let marinade cool completely to room temperature.

Place your salmon fillet(s) in a shallow container.

Pour your marinade over your salmon and let sit at least 30 minutes.

I was only making one salmon fillet,

 so I saved the rest of the marinade to use for something else!

Transfer your salmon and marinade to a greased baking dish

and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Salmon is done with fish flakes easily with a fork.

Immediately serve salmon topped with Sriracha Cream Sauce!

Sunday Night Dinner: Take 29

Another Sunday night, and once again...another yummy Sunday night dinner! Tonight, I got to enjoy the company of my girlfriend Alison and catch up on our busy lives. It was a great evening and I look forward to more nights like tonight in the near future!

We started with some fresh watermelon juice and had some tasty olives too! Soon after, she was digging into the Soft Pretzels I made last night! They're so good, even after freezing. And the main course was just as good - salmon with herb garlic butter, roasted brussels sprouts and herbed basmati rice. YUM! We both were stuffed and completely satisfied!!

Sunday Night Dinner: Take 17!

It's been FOREVER since I've done a Sunday Night Dinner post. I'm sorry for the absence and I HOPE post most in the near future!

I enjoyed a delicious piece of Salmon that was fresh AND wild caught! Such a treat and tastes so much better!! Along with the fish I had NEW brown and wild rice recipe. Look for a blog about the rice recipe soon!! And to finish off the meal I had some fresh, farm grown green beans that I blanched and then sauteed with a lil bacon. Yuuuuuuuuum! Sunday dinner was great and I look forward to sharing more of them with you soon!!! 

Broiled Garlic Herb Salmon

Recently I've been talking a lot about trying to add more fish into my diet, so I decided to not only post about it again, but to show you one of the ways I enjoy making salmon.

But before we get to the fish, let me show you how to make your own garlic herb butter.

Get your chopper out...

And chop up 2-3 cloves garlic.

Now add some fresh parsley and chop.

And finally a little dill and chop.

Put the garlic herb mixture into a bowl and add some butter. 

Mix it alllllllll up!

And finally, make it into cute little butter balls!

Now onto the salmon making...

The Goods:

Salmon, Dill, Lemons, Homemade Garlic Herb Butter Balls, Salt and Pepper

Some people leave the skin on one side of the fish, but I choose to remove it before cooking. I've done it both ways, but prefer without any skin. I feel it's less "fishy" this way! Haha.

Remove the skin if you want.

Or leave it on.

It's up to you!

Line a baking sheet with foil and then put a cooling rack on top.

Preheat oven to Broil.

Place salmon on top of cooling rack.

Salt and Pepper salmon. 

On top of salmon, put one butter ball and a sprig of dill.

Squeeze lemon over everything.

Broil for 7 minutes, flip and boil 7 more minutes or until done.

If you're a rebel - add more butter and dill after the flip!

YUM!

Perfectly done.

I served this with a long grain wild rice mixture and my Garlic Brussel Sprouts.
