Dinner for Two!

Seeing that we are approaching the weekend, here is a delicious recipe that serves two.

Potato Crusted Salmon

Serves: 2
Cooking Time: 30 min
What You'll Need:
  • 1/3 cup instant mashed potato flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup (Â stick) butter, melted
What To Do:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Coat a 7" x 11" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the potato flakes, onion powder, salt, and pepper; mix well. Dip the fillets in the melted butter then coat with the potato mixture and place in the baking dish. Sprinkle any remaining potato mixture evenly over the top. Drizzle the remaining butter over the fillets. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the potato crust is golden. Serve immediately.
Notes
While the salmon is baking, steam about 1/2 pound fresh asparagus. Let it cool slightly then top it with a vinaigrette dressing made by combining balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in an empty bottle and giving it all a shake.
