Baked Salmon

Marinade Ingredients:

1 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar

5 cloves of garlic, sliced

1/4 cup of honey

For the Salmon, you can either use a large side of salmon (like I tend to do) or portion out a number of fillets. The marinade will work for either.

1/4 cup of butter, sliced thinly

Salt and pepper

Directions:

Whisk together marinade ingredients.

Preheat oven to 400. Salt and pepper all sides of the salmon. Place in a large baking dish (I used a 9 x 13 below). Pour whisked marinade over salmon. It should come up to the sides, but not completely cover the fish.

Place the slices of butter on top of your salmon. One on each fillet (if you are using fillets).

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove and let sit for 10 minutes.

* To make non-dairy, rub extra virgin olive oil over each piece of salmon, or the entire side, and then salt and pepper each piece. Omit butter.

I learned to cook from my grandmother, who was a self-taught home cook. I was encouraged to cook at home by my mother, who allowed me to experiment and feed our family while I was growing up. Now, I cook for my husband and four children, who have perfected the role of taste-testers. What I've come up with are simple, family-friendly dishes based on my grandmother's recipes and my own understanding of how food works together. Gone are the canned and processed ingredients of yore-- instead you'll find fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients combined in ways to suit every palate, and simple enough that even the most novice home cook can execute them perfectly. In short, it's not quite my grandmother's cooking, anymore.
