Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time.

Simple Pan-Fried Salmon

I guess you could say that salmon is my favourite fish. It's the one I cook most often. I've baked it, barbecued it, broiled it, fried it and steamed it. However you cook it, it's delicious. Here's an easy recipe for pan-fried salmon.


Simple Pan-Fried Salmon
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients
  • 6 4oz pieces boneless salmon fillet, skin removed
  • 1/2 cup white or whole wheat flour
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill
  • olive oil for frying
  • lemon wedges
Directions
  1. Mix flour and spices. Lightly coat fish pieces in flour mixture dusting off any excess.
  2. Heat a nonstick pan over medium high heat. Fry in a little olive oil (just a few tablespoons) for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through and flaky. Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
  • You could use any fish with this recipe, or substitute butter for the oil to change the flavour a bit.
