Greetings Everyone and Everypony!
Lately I've seen quite a few topics revolving around food, so I figured this would be a great time to do this.
Cooking has been a long standing tradition in my family, and I was the one lucky enough to have inherited that particular talent, to the point I have become likely the best cook/baker in my family.
As such it comes to me to cook a lot especially for holidays and family get togethers, and most importantly special meals for Luna and Myself.
Because of how important I feel good food is to me and can be to a relationship, I would like to share some of my recipes, cooking tips and advice, and encourage anyone else to do the same as well as ask Any questions on the subject they may have!
The first set I have to share is the meal plan from the semi related thread "your ideal dinner".
Glazed Salmon:
What you need!
1/4 Cup Balsamic Viniger
1/4 Cup Water
1 1/2 tablespoons of Fresh Lemon Juice (not the bottled stuff!)
1 Tablespoon packed Brown sugar
1 Teaspoon packed Brown sugar
4 Salmon Fillets Center cut, skin on.
Salt&Freshly Ground pepper
2 Teaspoons of Olive Oil
How to Prepare!
Step 1: Stir together balsamic vinegar, water, lemon juice, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper. (Note this mixture can also be used as an 6-12 hour marinade)
Step 2: Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat, not smoking. Increase heat to high, add salmon skin side up, and sear until well browned, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over and sear until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer salmon to plates.
Step 3: Carefully add vinegar mixture to skillet (liquid will bubble vigorously and steam). Simmer, stirring, until thickened and reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 2 minutes. Spoon glaze over salmon. Serve and enjoy!
Part 2: Pasta Coming Soon!
