This was an eclectic creation from fresh things I found in the kitchen one evening. It is very simple. There are 5 ingredients that make up everything you see on the plate.
Honey Mint Salmon
1 Salmon Filet (4-6oz)
1 Tbs Honey
1 Tbs EVOO
1 tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
Mint to Taste
1. Heat pan and 1 Tbs oil over medium heat until warm.
2. Mix remaining oil and honey and coat salmon filet.
3. Place in pan and cover for approximately 4 minutes.
4. Place in mint (ground or whole) over filet.
5. Add fresh ground pepper and recover for approximately 4 minutes.
6. Plate, serve, enjoy.
Mint can be a tricky thing. Don't add too much or let it cook for too long. If you do either, you will undoubtedly end up with a mess.
Squash Fries
1 Cup Yellow Squash
1 Tbs EVOO
2 tsb Fresh Ground Pepper
Salt to taste
1. Cut squash to desired thickness.
2. Coat with EVOO and pepper.
3. Place in pan over medium heat.
4. Cook covered for approximately 4 minutes.
5. Add desired salt and more pepper if you prefer.
6. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until al dente.
7. Add more salt if desired, plate and enjoy!
I actually omit the salt all together, but some people will find the squash slightly bland without it. These guys are a healthy alternative to their fried counterparts and still go great with ketchup!
