Italian Style Salmon in White Wine Garlic Sauce

We are big salmon lovers in our household. My full time student husband always jokes that eating salmon makes him feel like he's getting smarter just because of all the omega 3's he's consuming. Since he's always happy when fish is on the menu, I have to get creative with my salmon recipes so we don't get bored. This little dish is a super simple way to cook up salmon in a flash, but pack a HUGE punch of delicious flavor in every bite. I love easy flavorful dishes, so this one is always on repeat.

Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets
1/2 cup white wine
2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons butter, sliced thinly
herbs de provence 
salt and pepper

Directions: Place your salmon in a small baking dish. Pour the white wine over the top of the fish. Then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and herbs de provence. Place your garlic slices and butter pats over the top. Cover baking dish with tinfoil. Bake at 450 degrees, 4-6 minutes per each 1/2 inch of thickness of the fillets.

This is such a delicious way to eat salmon that you may be tempted to throw out every other recipe in your repertoire. 

Lemon Dill Salmon

Came up with another fish recipe that doesn't taste like fish! Don't you love when the planets align like that? 

This serves 2 people, multiply as needed.

Put down a large sheet of foil on a pan

 

Place 2 Salmon Filets on the foil 

Salt and Pepper the fish

Place fresh dill on the fish

Cut 1 Tbs Butter into 8 pats 

Place butter onto fish 

Cut up 1 lemon into 8 slices

Place lemon on the fish 

Tent the foil around the fish so no steam will escape. 

Cook at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. 

We paired this with rosemary red potatoes and just roasted the potatoes at the same time as the fish. You could also add asparagus or another vegetable to the foil. Enjoy! 

Cayman Fish

Tonight my husband cooked me dinner. He cooked me a dish that he first had in the Cayman Islands. Captain Marvin served it to my husbands family on the beach after an excursion at sting ray city. I was a little worried this dish wouldn't be good because we all know food tastes better on vacation and maybe all this was was a fond memory for my husband. But this dish is quick, easy, and very unpretentious. 

Can't you picture this dish simmering in a pot on a cayman woman's stove? 

Warm 4 tbs olive oil in sauté pan 

Caramelize 1 chopped onion 

Along with 2 chopped bell peppers

Add 3 tbs pickapeppa sauce*

Add 3 tbs ketchup 

Add 1 Tsp salt 

Add 1/2 cup water 

Add 2 tsp honey 

Then add 4 mahi mahi filets (6oz each) or any white fish you'd like. These should be cut in half before you add to pan. Then reduce sauce for about 15 minutes or until fish cooked. 

Then add 2 tbs fresh lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. 

Serve with rice, some steel drum music, and a drink with an umbrella in it and your night is made!
