I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Salmon with Caramelized Onion and Pepper on Whipped Ricotta

Creamy whipped ricotta with sweet caramelized onion and pepper pair perfectly with this deliciously spiced salmon. It's all kind of spectacular!

Ingredients:

1/2 lb salmon fillets

2 tsps olive oil

1 tsp minced garlic

zest from 1/2 lemon

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp dry oregano

salt and pepper to taste

2 tsps olive oil

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/2 tsp minced ginger

2 tsps red wine vinegar

pinch of brown sugar

salt and pepper to taste

 

Whipped parmesan ricotta:

4 oz ricotta

4 tbsps parmesan

cracked black pepper to taste

First, place the ricotta and parmesan in a food processor and purée for 2 minutes. Stir in the black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Pat the salmon dry then rub with olive oil. Mix the garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, oregano, salt and pepper together and coat the salmon. Let sit 20 minutes. Heat oil in a skillet to medium low and add the onion cooking 10-15 minutes. Then add the bell pepper, ginger, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper for 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. Bake the salmon in a 400°F oven for 12-14 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. Spoon or schmear the whipped ricotta on the plate. Place the salmon on top covered in caramelized onion and pepper. Serves 2
