Red Pepper Glazed Salmon

This recipe was adopted from foodfigure.com. I only looked at the name and picture of the dish and ran with it. So the ingredients are a little different, the idea is the same.

This came out amazing! I would have never thought of using red pepper jelly with seafood before. But I'm glad I came across this. The glaze is more on the light side because I used rice vinegar and olive oil instead of soy sauce or balsamic vinegar. But it came out delicious!

Ingredients
2 Salmon Fillets
3 tbls red pepper jelly
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
2 tbls rice vinegar
Salt & Pepper

Directions
Start by whisking the red pepper jelly, olive oil & rice vinegar together. Place the salmon fillet's in a plastic bag, and dump in the red pepper mixture to marinate for about an hour.

Remove the Salmon and using a BBQ or a cast iron grill pan, sear the fish until cooked to preferred doneness.

The fish came out very flavorful and juicy! 
 

Pan Fried Smelts

I don't know about you, but when I see Smelts in the grocery stores, I know that Spring is close. Smelt's are usually lightly battered, fried & eaten whole. They are very inexpensive and easy to make.

Ingredients:

12-15 Medium Size Smelts

1 Cup Flour

1/2 Cup Corn starch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon seasoning salt

Peanut Oil, or any oil

Directions:

1. In a Large Mixing Bowl add all of the Ingredients for the exception of the fish.

2. Heat enough oil over medium high heat to cover the entire bottom of the pan.

3. Wash the smelts in water.

4. Add the fish to the Flour Mix, Toss them until well coated

5. Add the fish directly into the hot pan, work in batches if you have a lot.

6. Once golden on both sides remove from hot pan and place on a cooling rack or paper towel to dry off the hot oil.

Fish & Chips - Step 2 - The Fish

If you like fish and chips then chances are you have a favorite fish and chip joint. My apologies go out to all of those fish and chip joints now. It’s amazing how expensive Deep Fried Frozen Foods have become. And how inexpensive it is to make them. 

The only thing I had to buy was the Haddock, and I waited until it was on Sale. I got 2 Good Size Haddock Fillets (Cod would work nice too) for Under $5.00. All the other ingredients are usually in my pantry, and most likely your's too.

This Fish and Chip Recipe is light on the wallet, and easy to make. And by using fresh fish and never frozen fries this tastes just as good as the place down the road.

Ingredients: (Serves 1-2)

1 Haddock Fillet
3/4 Cup Flour
1/4 Cup Corn Starch
1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Seasoning Salt
1 1/2 Cups or 12 oz Cold Beer

Directions:
1. Mix all the Dry Ingredients together
2. Cut The Haddock into Desired Sizes
3. Divide the Flour Mix into 2. Place half on a plate, and the other half in a Bowl
4. Add the Beer to the flour mixture in the Bowl and mix well
5. Using the same Oil the fries have cooked in it should already be hot at a medium temperature.
6. Take the Fish Piece by piece and coat in the Dry Mix, then to the wet mix (letting the excess batter drip off), then back to the dry mix, and just leave the fish in the dry mixture until all the pieces are battered and ready.
7. One by one place the fish in the Oil. Using tongs keep flipping the fish so it cooks evenly. This won't take long when using fresh fish, mine was done in about 5 Minutes.
