Baked Salmon

I love eating fish. In fact I can eat fish anyway you cook it. I love fish more than meat. Salmon is so good and I love it baked. Here's a recipe that I got from my good friend Sofia. The first time my hubby and I ate this was when Sofia invited us for supper in their house when they were still residing in our city. I have cooked this recipe many times and hubby and I really love it. I won't get tired having this on my table every now and then. The only problem is that salmon is getting expensive but it's worth it though with all the omega 3 that we can get from it. Anyhow, here's the recipe of the baked salmon. This is really delicious.

Ingredients
1 lb salmon fillet
1 cup sour cream
1 cup crab legs imitation, shredded
1/2 tsp lemon juice
salt
black pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place the salmon in a baking dish.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper to the salmon.
Mix together the sour cream, shredded crab leg imitation, lemon juice and a dash of salt.
Cover the salmon with the mixture and bake for 30 minutes.

Sinigang na Ulo Ng Tanguigue

I love eating sinigang but I was not good in cooking it. I remember my grandmother used to cook sinigang when were kids and I just love the way she cooked it. At that time, I didn't bother to ask her or observe her while she was cooking. All I was interested that time was to eat what she cooked. My grandma had already passed away many years ago and I didn't get her sinigang recipe so I can't cook sinigang the way she cooked it before. Her sinigang was not that sour unlike those in the restaurant that all you can taste is the sour tamarind powder that they added. It really turned me off. Until 2 years ago, my sister taught me how to cook sinigang the way our grandma used to cook. I was so glad to learn it and now I can cook good sinigang as my grandma did. I love to buy the head of the tanguigue fish because the soup really taste good and it's really perfect for sinigang.

Ingredients :

1 kilo fish head of tanguigue, split open and gills removed
1 large onion, peeled and finely sliced
2-3 tomatoes, diced
5 pcs of medium size kamias
a bunch of camote tops or chayote tops or kangkong tops
1 small piece of ginger, crushed
salt or patis

Cooking procedure:

Put the sliced fish head in the pot over low fire with salt or patis, sliced onion and crushed ginger. Simmer it for about 5 to 7 minutes stirring once in a while. Add 5 cups of water and bring to a boil then season with salt or patis. Add the tomatoes or camias and cook for another 10 minutes. Add the camote tops or chayote or kangkong tops. Simmer for 3 minutes. Serve at once.

I do love fish very much. My hubby does too but he only like fish if it's deboned and fried. That's the reason he loves eating fish burgers because it's yummy and tasty and it's already deboned.

Serve on an onion roll with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and horseradish for a great barbecue main dish.

Broiled Fish

When the weather's not right for grilling, try broiling instead. Broiling is great when you want a fast, simple, hassle-free preparation with delicious results. It gives fish a nicely browned exterior with the convenience of a temperature-controlled heat source. For easy cleanup, line the broiler pan with a piece of foil.

Here's good a recipe of a broiled fish.

* 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice

* 2 pounds skinless halibut fillets

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven broiler. Grease a baking dish.
2. In a bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, green onions, salt, and hot pepper sauce.
3. Arrange the halibut fillets in the prepared baking dish.
4. Broil halibut fillets 8 minutes in the prepared oven, or until easily flaked with a fork. Spread with the Parmesan cheese mixture, and continue broiling 2 minutes, or until topping is bubbly and lightly browned.
