Baked Salmon Fillet

INTRODUCTION:
It seemed so easy to make... so easy to do. But what challenges me here is the cooking time. The thickness of the Salmon varies how long it's gonna be baked inside your oven. It doesn't require much of the rules like 10 mins./15 mins. and/or 20 mins. It really depends on your market catch! The criteria which is "Perfectness" goes with the texture and the softness of the Salmon meat. That's the goal!

Ingredients:
1kg of Salmon Fillet (it's about Php 550.00-650.00/kg)
Potatoes
Carrots
Freshly Crushed Peppercorns
Rosemary 
Thyme
Salt
Olive Oil
Fried Garlic (optional)
Lemon
Garlic-Minced
Mozzarella Cheese
Chopped Parsley to for Garnish

1. Preheat your oven at 375 f.
2. Clean Your Salmon meat. Pat Dry, set aside. Chill. 
3. Slice your potatoes and carrots in big and thick strips (just like French Fries), arrange in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil  (make sure everything is coated) and pepper and/or fried garlic (optional). You may opt to use Broccoli or any vegetables from your pantry (i.e. corn, sayote, beans, green peas...etc.)
4. Cook this inside your oven for about 30 mins or more. Until well done and shows golden brown color on the edges of the potatoes. 

Remove baking dish from the rack. 

5. Arrange the veggies on the sides (same baking dish), place your salmon in the middle.
6. Squeeze some lemon juice on top of the salmon fillet, followed by the olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme and garlic. 
7. Grate some mozzarella cheese on top of your fish. then bake about minimum of 10 mins. 
8. Check on your salmon if the surface has been cooked. if yes, add more 5 mins. on the cooking time or until the mozzarella cheese has completely melted. 
9. Do not over cook!
10. Garnish with chopped parsley then serve.

MASHED POTATO

Introduction:

Who wouldn't love this dish? From babies to grannies... Nobody would ever refuse Mashed Potatoes! With the right amount of ingredients, you wouldn't go wrong...! Mash! Mash! Mash!

I have this very reliable Kitchen Machine that helps me Mash my Potatoes finely! I don't need to exert my precious effort just to produce the Resto-Like texture! 

Ingredients:

1kg Potatoes

Salt

Pepper

Butter

(Heavy Cream, Optional, naaah, no need)

1. Remove potato skin, slice your potatoes, bring to boil, until well cooked.

2. Drain water and start mashing!

3. While the potato is still hot, add in cubed butter about half of 1 Big Bar into the potatoes, the butter will just melt while you mix all the ingredients together. Add in salt and pepper to taste. Some add lots of pepper to kick the taste! Some add more butter so it will not turn out dry.

4. Arrange and serve with Hot Gravy on the side!

NOTE:

I DON'T REALLY MEASURE MY INGREDIENTS, BUT I STILL HOPE THAT THIS ONE HELPS!

SPANISH CROSTINI-Canapé

Introduction:

Crostini (Crunchy crusted bread base) can be home made or can be bought from a grocery store or a nearby Bake Shop. Sometimes, it would be great if you make crostinis out of your aged-but no so aged bread from your pantry to prevent these from building up molds. You can simply use any kinds of breads like "Pandesal", "Monay" or "Sliced Breads"..... "French bread" for me is much better, as it can make bigger sizes of crostini for your "Bruschetta!"

Ingredients:
Bread (Sliced about 1/2 inch)
Squares or Rounds, doesn't matter!

1. Preheat oven toaster in low heat for about 8-10mins.
2. Arrange your bread and make sure that you place it in "Middle Rack" to prevent it from burning. 
3. Toast it for about 20 mins. or more or until you feel that the bread is a little bit hard (not literally) and crunchy. Set aside.

For the Crostini Topping
Spanish Sardines
Mayonnaise
Lettuce
Sliced Tomatoes
Sugar
Pepper
Cheese, Any (sliced or grated), I find Queso de Bola better for this.

1. Simple mix the Spanish Sardines and the mayonnaise, little of the sugar and dash of pepper. 
2. Mince everything using your fork.
3. Arrange your crostini into your baking dish, layered by lettuce, sardines mix, tomato and cheese. 
4. Bake or toast for 2-3mins.

My kids likes it toasted better! They wanted those fresh veggies to be well done!

THIS RECIPE IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY TOPPINGS THAT YOU CAN CREATE WITH YOUR CROSTINIS! YOU CAN EXPLORE MORE IN YOUR OWN KITCHEN! TRY IT!

SORRY I DON'T REALLY MEASURE MY INGREDIENTS! I JUST HOPE THIS STILL HELPS!
