Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Asian Salmon ~ page 176

 
This lovely salmon is marinated for 2 hours before serving--I love that part, because it takes away all the last minute hassle, especially when this cooks in just 20 minutes.
There are a couple ingredients for the marinade that you may have to go hunting for: rice vinegar and sesame oil. You will find these in the Asian food isle of the grocery store.
Here is a tip that is not in the cookbook: Put the salomon skin side up in your dish, then pour the marinade over. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 2 hours. Just before baking, turn the salmon over in the dish.
Now bake with skin side down. This keeps the flesh in the marinade sauce for best flavor absorbtion.
Tonight I served Asian Salmon with Baked Ricotta and Spinach Rigotoni ~ page 79
