Do you have a really good recipe for cooking salmon?

I usually do the same mix of ingredients: margarine, cajun seasoning (Tony Cacherie’s), fresh lemon juice or bottled lemon juice, dried parsley flakes, garlic power and a few drops of green Tabasco. I melt all that in the microwave and pour the mixture on top of the fish. It gives the fish a tangy, spicy and seasoned flavor. It’s probably not the healthiest recipe though, so I am looking for different ideas.

I cook my salmon two different ways. With one, I put a layer of mayonnaise seasoned with black pepper, dill and onion powder over the top of the salmon, wrap it in foil and bake it until just done. The salmon is very moist that way. I’ve had it in a restaurant fixed that way but I believe they mixed mayonnaise and either sour cream or cream cheese. By the texture, I want to say cream cheese.

And, when we went to Juneau, Alaska, a restaurant that cooked their salmon over alder use a 3-2-1 method. 3 parts brown sugar, 2 parts lemon juice and 1 part butter. Melt the butter, mix everything together and coat the fish. I again seal it in foil and bake it.

Some ladies in my group like the 3-2-1 method and others like the mayonnaise version. The restaurant that uses the mayonnaise method is Anthony’s Home Port in Olympia, WA


How do I cook Cajun fajitas at home?

I need a starting point for a recipe that I can cook at home, but ideally is mall food-court quality at worst or restaurant quality at best. I would try a Cajun recipe first and a Tex Mex recipe, as well. How long does a New York steak bake in an oven at 350 degrees? My problem is that I want to flour-coat the meat. I am looking for any good solutions.

Fajita meat is not flour coated. It’s going in a flour tortilla already.

Sizzling Fajitas

1/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Dash hot sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 pounds meat (boneless, skinless chicken breast, skirt steak or peeled and deveined shrimp)
1 medium onion, halved and sliced lengthwise
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 lime, juiced, for topping
Sour cream, for topping
Salsa, for topping
Guacamole, for topping
Cheddar cheese, shredded, for topping

In a heavy duty resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, hot sauce, salt, pepper and your choice of meat. Seal and toss the bag around to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator. *Cook’s Note: 15 minutes for shrimp, 20 minutes for chicken and 1 hour for skirt steak.
Preheat your cast iron servers in a preheated 400 degree F oven for at least 20 minutes, to get a good sizzle when you plate the fajitas.
Heat the outside grill or a large indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and place it on the hot grill, discard the marinade. Cook chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, skirt steak about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare and about 2 minutes for shrimp. Slice the chicken and steak into strips if you are using.
In a large skillet heat up the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and fry the onions and bell peppers until crisp-tender with some salt and pepper.
Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm them in the oven with the servers for 15 minutes.

When you are ready to serve, remove the cast iron servers from the oven and quickly arrange the meat and peppers and onions on it. It will immediately start to sizzle from their fat and moisture. Serve sizzling immediately with the warm tortillas and other accompaniments.

Smart Spice Organic Thyme — 0.1 oz Each / Pack of 6

Smart Spice Organic Thyme -- 0.1 oz Each / Pack of 6

100% Organic Spices. 4 Packets per Carton. Each Packet Contains 1 Teaspoon of Spice. Sealed Tight so Air, Light, and Moisture Are Kept Away From the Spice and Natural Oils That Are Essential for Flavor. Thyme, one of the fine herbs of French cooking, is basic to southern European cuisine and its Creole and Cajun cousins in the American South. This fresh-tasting herb, with its hint of cloves and spice, gives a robust savor to chowders and stews, yet lends refinement to the most exquisite fish, veal, or egg dishes. Thymes name meant sacrifice, in ancient Greece, where it was offered as a pleasing gift to the gods. Thyme is a perennial native to arid Mediterranean hills. Many varieties exist, but thymus vulgaris, common thyme, is most beloved as a culinary herb. Its hard to believe the tiny leaves and delicate pink or white flowers of this scrappy plant yield such exquisite flavor. But the harsh sun and dry soil of its natural environment seem only to strengthen the fragrant essential oil for which thyme is prized. Smart Spices organic thyme is well-suited for marinades and for long, slow cooking, gradually releasing its heavenly flavor. Its perfect in crock pots. Or saut chicken breasts, deglaze with cognac, and finish with thyme and cream. Add thyme to stuffing and sauces, and or use it in classic lentil and bean dishes. A natural ally of vegetables, thyme is especially good with green beans or mushrooms sauted in butter or olive oil. In recipes calling for a tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves, substitute 1 teaspoon dried thyme from Smart Spice. If you do have fresh thyme on hand, add a packet of Smart Spice thyme to, and discover the flavor magic of layering the flavors of fresh and dried herbs. A revolution in seasonings? Why not. For too long, the average consumer and cook has had to settle on purchasing and using middle-of-the-road bottled spices and herbs. There has never been an affordable alternative. Introducing SMART SPICE. These spices, herbs, and kitchen

Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Louisiana Kitchen

Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen

< P> Here for the first time the famous food of Louisiana is presented in a cookbook written by a great creative chef who is himself world-famous. The extraordinary Cajun and Creole cooking of South Louisiana has roots going back over two hundred years, and today it is the one really vital, growing regional cuisine in America. No one is more responsible than Paul Prudhomme for preserving and expanding the Louisiana tradition, which he inherited from his own Cajun background.< /P> < P> Chef Prudhomme’s incredibly good food has brought people from all over America and the world to his restaurant, K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen, in New Orleans. To set down his recipes for home cooks, however, he did not work in the restaurant. In a small test kitchen, equipped with a home-size stove and utensils normal for a home kitchen, he retested every recipe two and three times to get exactly the results he wanted. Logical though this is, it was an unprecedented way for a chef to write a cookbook. But Paul Prudhomme started cooking in his mother’s kitchen when he was a youngster. To him, the difference between home and restaurant procedures is obvious and had to be taken into account.< /P> < P> So here, in explicit detail, are recipes for the great traditional dishes–gumbos and jambalayas, Shrimp Creole, Turtle Soup, Cajun “Popcorn,” Crawfish Etouffee, Pecan Pie, and dozens more–each refined by the skill and genius of Chef Prudhomme so that they are at once authentic and modern in their methods.< /P> < P> < I> Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Louisiana Kitchen< /I> is also full of surprises, for he is unique in the way he has enlarged the repertoire of Cajun and Creole food, creating new dishes and variations within the old traditions. Seafood Stuffed Zucchini with Seafood Cream Sauce, Panted Chicken and Fettucini, Veal and Oyster Crepes, Artichoke Prudhomme–these and many others are newly conceived recipes, but they could have been
