What a Treat!!!

I was pleasantly surprised last Sunday. My wife is not the one who usually prepares the food in our house. If she does prepare a meal, it is a simple, open-the-box type of event.

She shocked me with a fabulous deviation. I came in the door to a wonderful meal. The main course was a Honey Pecan Salmon. This recipe is super easy and too good!!

The recipe came from a clipped newspaper, so I am unable to give proper credit. However, the name Shannon Alexander is included in the clipping, this recipe may be hers.
In any case, here it is:

Honey Pecan Salmon

¼ cup EV Olive Oil
3 TBSP honey
4 Salmon filets (4 to 6 ounces each)
1 –1/2 cups well-chopped pecans
½ TBSP dried or fresh parsley
salt and pepper
extra honey

Preheat oven to 425
Mix olive oil and 3 TBSP honey in a medium bowl. Dip each filet in the mixture.
Roll and press the fillet in the pecans to coat filet. Lay coated filet in a 9-by-13 baking pan.
Sprinkle with parsley.
Slat and pepper to taste.
Drizzle extra honey on filets.
Bake for 10 minutes or until fish flakes with fork.

Served with rice and a steamed veggie, this is heaven on a plate!!!

Happy eatin’

The GQ 'Fridge

Adam Rapoport, Style Editor for GQ magazine, had a list in the magazine’s June ’05 issue.

Here it is:
10 Things a Man Should Have in His ‘fridge at All Times

White wine
High-end Bacon
Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
Dijon mustard
Italian Flat Leaf Parsley
Eggs
Lemon
Champagne
Butter
Mayonnaise

Adam offered interesting supporting commentary that defends each item’s position on the list. I am certain the American Dairy Association would frown on his exclusion of milk from the list! (can champagne be part of the dairy group?)
