The only entries for this week’s challenge didn’t quite fit the bill (didn’t use all ingredients and seemed, well, tough!) so I ended up winging the recipe this week.  Here’s my best bet at what I did, followed by the video.  And in the video, my seven year old daughter took over the camera action and added in her own commentary, at one point telling me what I was mixing looked like poop.  Wow.  I know I’m not artful, but poop?  Cummon!   She ended up loving what I made so it wasn’t THAT bad.

Ingredients:

• King Salmon Steaks
• Asparagus
• Brown Rice
• Red, Yellow and Green Peppers
• 1/3 Cup Olive Oil
• 1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
• Mustard Powder
• Old Bay Seasoning
• Dijon Mustard

Directions:

Cut Salmon into steaks and lay in 13×9 baking dish.  Mix together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, mustard powder (to your liking) and Old Bay.  Sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning on the salmon cakes and the then coat with sauce.  Cover with cut peppers and sprinkle with more olive oil. 

Place asparagus on aluminum foil covered cookie sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil and Dijon mustard and mix to coat.

Cook rice per instructions.

Place salmon in 375F oven for 15 minutes.  When 15 minutes are up, place asparagus on top rack and switch to broil, but with door closed, for 10 minutes.  If you have  convection feature, turn it on now too.

After that 25 minutes, all should be done!  Place salmon, asparagus and peppers over bed of rice and serve!

Week two’s Cheesy Turkey Nuggets recipe sent in from Jess Kohl was a splattering, goopy, delicious success!  A recap of the challenge can be found here.  And now the video! (PS, I might get daring next week and make an introduction including some music! Maybe)

As a recap, week #1′s challenge was to take halibut, broccoli, onions and shitake mushrooms, and up to two ingredients of your own choosing, and post a recipe that would work for an average cook and his daughter.  While I don’t have my daughter on camera, she loved this halibut (minus the onions and mushrooms, but I knew that going into it).  I still can’t believe how buttery it tastes!  Thanks again to Kay from Kayotic Kitchen for the recipe.  The recipe can be found under “Recipes” at the top of this website.

And now for the video of my attempt at this recipe!
