Simple Salmon
1 lb Salmon, thawed
1 T Butter
Salt
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Melt butter with salt in the oven, removing when the foam subsides. Add Salmon, turning to butter each side, leaving it skin side down. Roast 8-12 minutes until salmon just flakes easily. Perfectly cooked salmon separates into big, soft flakes and has some bright pink in the center. It will continue to cook a little more out of the oven.
Serve with rice, mango chutney, and roasted vegetables
Light and Crunchy Granola
10 c rolled oats and 6 c puffed wheat or barley or rice crispies (OR 16 c rolled oats)
3 c chopped dates
(This granola is not sweet. For mildly sweet, add 3 c brown sugar or 1 1/2 c honey + 1/2 c molasses.)
4 c nuts or seeds (sunflower, sliced almonds, peanuts, pumpkin, pecan, walnut, cashew)
3 c shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)
1/2 c chia (optional)
8 t ground cinnamon
8 t vanilla
2 t salt
3 c plain yogurt
1 c water
Preheat oven to 275. Mix dry ingredients and then stir in the yogurt until all is moistened. (If using rice crispies, mix them in at end.) Spread 1/2 inch thick on four cookie sheets. Bake for about 30 minutes, stir, then another 15 minutes or until some of the granola begins to brown. Makes 60 servings.
VARIANTS TRIED
Instead of 3 c yogurt and 1 c water, used 2 c yogurt and 2 c orange juice plus 3 T orange zest. The only other added sugar was 1/2 c molasses. Used the optional coconut and about 1/8 c chia. It was only very mildly sweet and only faintly orange flavored. Tasted good, though, and good texture.
