?Baked? Beans

“Baked” Beans

by Pam on October 22, 2012

I wanted to make some baked beans for dinner but didn’t have the time to deal with dried beans. I found this recipe that I adapted on Martha Stewart^[1]. I added a little bit of bacon crumbles to the sauce and used regular mustard instead of dried mustard. I planned on adding some brown sugar but didn’t because they were sweet enough without it. The beans turned out tangy, sweet, and very delicious! My kids both really loved these beans and so did I.

Heat a small sauce pan over medium heat. Cut the bacon into pieces and place into the pan. Cook, until crispy, for about 2 minutes on each side; remove from the pan and place onto paper towels to drain. Crumble. Add the onion to the pan (add a bit of oil if needed) and cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the rinsed & drained cannelloni beans to the onion mixture then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Add bacon, 1/2 cup of water, ketchup, molasses, and mustard. Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve & enjoy.

Dijon and Panko-Crusted Salmon AND Blendtec Blender Giveaway Winner

by Pam on September 23, 2012

My husband dropped my son off at a buddies house yesterday for a sleepover and came home with a large fillet of freshly caught king salmon. Thank you so much for the beautiful fish Gery, Amy, Gavin, and Jason! I decided to try something new instead of my usual Salmon with Garlic, Lemon, and Dill^[1]. I found a delicious looking recipe by Ina Garten^[2] that looked too good to resist and I had all the ingredients on hand – you can’t beat that! Instead of cutting the fish into 4 even pieces, I just cooked it a little longer and left it whole. The Dijon gave the fish a wonderful flavor and the panko gave it a great texture. It was perfectly cooked, tender, and absolutely fantastic! My kids loved it, especially with lemon juice squeezed on top. We gobbled up every last bite of this salmon. Freshly caught fish is the BEST!

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Combine the panko crumbs with the parsley, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Combine with your fingers until evenly mixed.

Spoon the Dijon mustard on top of the salmon and spread evenly. Season the fish with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Press the panko mixture thickly on to of the mustard… the mustard will help the panko adhere.

Heat the vegetable oil in a OVEN PROOF skillet or Dutch oven. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillet, skin side down, and sear for 3-4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.

Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 15-20 minute or until an internal temperature of the thickest part of the salmon reads 125-130 degrees. Remove from the oven and cover with a tin foil tent for 5-10 minutes. Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges. Enjoy.
