Maple Grilled Salmon and Pineapple Salsa

Sorry it took so long to post more recipes....We enjoyed this for supper tonight. It was delicious. Hope you will try it out!



Maple Grilled Salmon

1 cup maple syrup
3 Tablespoons orange juice
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 salmon fillets

In a small saucepan, bring syrup to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil, until reduced to 2/3 cup (about 5-6 minutes). Stir in orange juice, butter, and soy sauce; remove from heat.
Sprinkle fillets with salt. Brush with half of maple mixture. Grill, covered w/ lid, over high heat, basting occasionally w/ maple mixture, 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes w/ fork.


Pineapple Salsa

1 fresh pineapple, diced
1 small-med red bell pepper, chopped
1 small-med green bell pepper, chopped
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.


This was the rest of our meal..steamed broccoli and fried corn to go along with the salmon and salsa.

Making some changes

For some time now I have wondered what I was going to do with this blog. One of my passions is cooking. I thought I could establish a blog and share recipes. I really didn't know how to go about it. I also didn't think I had time to create and manage a blog. Finding a creative name for a blog was also an issue, I could just never think of anything....until this evening... The kids wanted me to stay outside with them and I just couldn't because of cooking supper. I told my daughters "I can't.. I've got pots on the stove". It clicked. I thought, oh cool, I'll use that for my title. So.. here it is. I am going to try to post a new recipe as often as I can. The recipe today is for Salmon Cakes. A very easy and yummy dish.. Enjoy!

Salmon Cakes

1 package boneless, skinless pink salmon (this is a vacuum sealed pack)

1/4 cup chopped green pepper

1/4 cup chopped red pepper

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1 Tbsp lemon juice

about 1/2 tsp black pepper seasoned salt

about 1/2 tsp Old Bay

1 egg

about 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Empty salmon into a bowl and flake with fork. Add other ingredients and mix well. Form mixture into 6 cakes or patties. Heat a frying pan, add a little olive oil. Pan fry cakes until done, maybe 5 minutes per side.

I often do not measure my ingredients. When I do create a recipe, I will guess or eyeball ingredients..that is why you will see "about" or "approximately" in some of my recipes.. Just try it and play with it yourself!

Sweet Blessings~
