Salmon & Penne Alfredo
This Salmon & Penne Alfredo was inspired by the seafood with pesto cream penne alfredo from Ragazzi’s Italian Restaurant. The seafood with pesto cream involves basil with walnut pesto blended into penne alfredo sauce with sauteed shrimp and fresh salmon. It’s $14.99 a plate which I’m telling you is sooooo worth it coz it’s soooo good and you get so much of it. I can only eaT half of the plate then save my leftovers for lunch the following day. Delicious creamy pesto with alfredo sauce, and large pieces of shrimp and chunks of salmon. If I could somehow name a kid from this dish, I would.
My own version of course is very much simplified. It doesn’t have the creamy pesto sauce coz I didn’t have the stuff to make it(basil, walnuts) and I also omitted the shrimp coz we just had shrimp last Sunday. It was delicious nonetheless. I just love creating my own version of restaurant dishes that I love even though I don’t create the exact same thing all the time. I just have fun working in my kitchen with a particular dish to copy in mind.
Next time I’ll make it the Ragazzi’s way, but for now, here’s my simplified version.
Easy Salmon Melts
These salmon melts are sooooo easy and fast to make you don’t even actually have to refer to this recipe. You can get so creative with your own version after reading this one. Coz that’s excatly what I did after reading The Pioneer Woman’s tuna melts recipe. YUP, these salmon melts were inspired by TPW’s tuna melts.
I quickly made this after talking to my husband on the phone who was on his way home with our son from a few hours of Fishing. He asked what’s for lunch and I suggested salad since that’s what I was shoving in my mouth in between talking to him and salad was the fastest thing I could serve at that moment. But I figured I’d be nice and make something more substantial for them coz they were hungry. When I said I could make salmon melts which are like similar to tuna melts he said they better be ready in 10 minutes. Easy Peasy!
Salmon Tomatoes & Scallions Frittata
Frittata is one of the Family’s favorite for weekend brunch. I’ve made potato & bacon frittata, corned beef hash frittata and sometimes I used leftover meat or seafood from the night before as part of the filling.
Here’s a salmon tomatoes and scallions frittata from the leftover pan-fried salmon.
LASANG PINOY SUNDAYS: SEAFOOD: SALMON FISH FRY W/ MANGO & SCALLIONS RELISH
I saw a pack of Zatarain’s Fish Fry Mix at the store so I figured I’d try it with the pretty looking salmon I bought at BJ’s. Something for a change. Fish Fry usually uses cod or haddock but I decided to be “fancy” and used salmon instead.
Salmon Fish Taco W/ Guacamole & Pico de Gallo
I have been dying to make fish tacos ever since I saw Bobby Flay’s Fish Taco Throwdown episode. If you’re a patient enough person making fish tacos is not that hard at all. There’s just a lot of deep frying involved but it’s also ok to skip one deep-frying step. That’s exactly what I did. I also changed a couple of components which if you are a fish taco aficionado, you’ll see them instantly in the picture…
