Savory Salmon Over Wild Rice Pilaf With A Side Of Sweet Potatoes Recipes

SWEET & SPICY ROASTED SALMON WITH WILD RICE PILAF

Steps:

• Thaw salmon, if frozen. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 15-by-10-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Place the salmon in the prepared pan. Whisk vinegar and honey in a small bowl; drizzle half of the mixture over the salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast the salmon until the thickest part flakes easily, about 15 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining vinegar mixture.
• Coat a 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add bell pepper and jalapeño; cook, stirring frequently, just until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in scallion greens.
• Top 4 of the salmon fillets with the pepper mixture and parsley. Serve with pilaf. (Refrigerate the remaining salmon for another use, see Note.)

APPLE PECAN CRUSTED SALMON OVER WILD RICE

Steps:

• Make the apple glaze. In a microwavable bowl add the apple jelly and white wine to combine. Takes about 1 minute on medium. Remove and stir in the rosemary and thyme. Let cool a few minutes.
• Let the salmon come to room temperature Brush on the apple glaze, add salt and pepper, just a little to each fillet and then sprinkle the top with pecans. Save the extra glaze to drizzle over the salmon.
• Place the salmon on a baking/cookie sheet lined with parchment or foil and cook at 400F for about 15-20. Cooking time will vary on the thickness and size of the fillets. Half way through, drizzle more glaze on the fillets.
• Cook the rice according to directions. But rather than using water -- substitute chicken broth for a rich flavor. Half way through cooking the rice which depending on what brand you get will be between 10 and 25 minutes, add the diced apples and cranberries.
• Serve with roasted green beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts or asparagus. Cook right along with the fish. Just toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast. Nothing more needed.
