Baked Cod

Tonight for dinner I roughly adapted this baked haddock recipe from AllRecipes.com
(http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/baked-haddock-2/Detail.aspx ).

3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons salt (I used about 4 shakes of the salt shaker)
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground dried thyme (I used italian seasoning mix)
4 haddock fillets (used 1 package of frozen cod - about 8 pieces)
1/4 cup butter, melted (I used margerine)


1.Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
2.In a small bowl, combine the milk and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Dip the haddock fillets in the milk, then press into the crumb mixture to coat. Place haddock fillets in a glass baking dish, and drizzle with melted butter.
3.Bake on the top rack of the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily, about 15 minutes.

TIPS: I served it with steamed broccolli & pea pods. I also put cooking spray on the bottom of the dish.

RESULTS: Very yummy. The hubby and I loved it. The kido ate 3/4 of her piece then declared she was done because she doesn't like fish. I still call it a success as she ate most of her dinner.

Salmon Patty Sunday

Yesterday for dinner I made salmon patties:

1 tin of salmon (bones & skin removed)
1 egg bread crumbs (about a tsp)
1 piece of wet bread (wet bread and squeeze out)
Mash together, form in patties and coat in cornflake crumbs.
Then fry (I used a bit of cooking spray) on each side.

Ready & on the table in 20 or so minutes

TIPS: I got smart this time and crushed the corn flakes in a freezer bag and shook the salmon patties
in it shake and bake style. I made 8 mini patties, but you could make 2 big patties. Served with ketchup, potatoes (we did sweet potato fries & crispy veggies).

RESULTS: My older daughter (4) looked at it and declared it yucky. Once she was forced to try it she declared it yummy, cleared her plate (a huge thing here) and wanted to know what it was called again so she could ask for it again.
