A Recipe...I Dare Say

One thing you will not see a lot of on this blog are recipes.  I lack the creative genius needed to be a good cook and honestly the kitchen is just not one of the things that comes easily to me.  But, today I will do the unthinkable and post a delicious recipe that I have copied from my husband and thankfully he has the creative genius a good cook needs. 

Ingredients
  • Salmon (I used frozen, I'm sure fresh would only make it better)
  • Bacon
  • Mushrooms
  • Shredded Cheese (I have only used mozzarella, but I'm sure anything would work)

Directions
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees (also works great on the grill)
  • Wrap salmon in bacon
  • Place on broiler pan and cook until salmon (and bacon) is done (when it easily flakes) - approximately 20 minutes
  • While salmon is cooking saute desired amount of mushrooms
  • Once the salmon is done, turn the oven off, sprinkle salmon patty with sauteed mushrooms and cheese.  Place back in oven and let sit for a minute or two.
  • Pull out delicious salmon and devour!
I absolutely love this recipe for a couple of reasons:
  • You are eating salmon, which is fantastic for your heart.
  • My kids love it and even ask for seconds.  The true testament to how yummy this is, is that they will eat it without salad dressing.  All meat consumed by my children apparently have to be served with salad dressing except this!!!!!
  • It is easy and taste great.  I especially love how the smoky flavor of the bacon is soaked into the salmon and gives the entire dish a fabulous flavor.
If you try it, let me know what you think.
