Zesty Salmon Burgers

Zesty Salmon Burgers (taken from Okie Dokie Artichokie)

Prep Time: 15 minutes Servings: 4
Cook Time: 20 minutes Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:
For the broiled salmon:
2 salmon filets; skin removed
1 T. unsalted butter; melted
1 t. lemon juice
Salt and pepper

For the burgers:
¼ medium red onion; chopped finely
¼ C. corn kernels
2 T. mayonnaise
8 squirts sriracha sauce*
1 whole egg
2 T. bread crumbs
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil

For the sauce:
¼ C. mayonnaise
1 T. lemon juice
4 kaiser rolls; toasted
Mache or arugula leaves
Red onion; sliced thinly

Cooking Instructions:
Set your oven rack to its highest level and turn the broiler on.

Place two salmon filets in the middle of a baking sheet. Generously season with salt and pepper. Using a pastry brush, paint
the salmon with butter, then drizzle lemon juice on top. Put the salmon in the oven and bake until slightly golden brown and
just cooked through, about 8 minutes.
When the salmon is done cooking, set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, put the chopped red onion, corn kernels, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, egg, and bread crumbs into a mediumsized bowl. Once the salmon has cooled down, shred it roughly with a fork. Add shredded salmon to the bowl with
ingredients. Mix to combine. Add salt and pepper.

Begin to form the patties in your hands and set aside.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil. When the pan is hot, gently place the salmon patties onto
it, allowing to cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side, until golden brown, and then gently flipping over to cook on the other
side, about another 5 minutes.

Set the cooked salmon patties to the side.

Prepare the sauce by combining the mayonnaise and lemon juice together.

Assemble the zesty salmon burgers by slathering the mayo sauce on the bottom bun, putting the salmon patty over that,
then topping with red onions and mache/arugula leaves. Finish with the bun.

Bunny Creme Puffs

These are just too bunny-licious!

Bunny Creme Puffs (Taken from Sweet Kat's Kitchen)

Ingredients
Cream Puffs
1 c. water
1/2 c. Land O Lakes butter
1 c. all-purpose flour
4 lg. eggs

Filling
1 (3.3 oz.) pkg. white chocolate instant pudding
1 1/4 c. cold milk
1 c. whipping cream, whipped

Decorations
Large marshmallows
Decorative sugar
Toothpicks
Vanilla flavored candy-coating, melted
Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Black string licorice, cut into thin 3/4 inch strips
Small round pink candies, such as mini candy-covered chocolate pieces
Powdered sugar, if desired

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine water and butter in saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil. Reduce heat to low, stir in flour vigorously until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a ball. Remove from heat. Beat in 1 egg at a time until mixture is smooth.

Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls, 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Pierce each puff gently with fork to allow steam to escape. Cool completely.

Prepare pudding mix using 1 1/4 cups milk, as directed on package. After pudding is set, gently stir in whipped cream. Cover; refrigerate until serving time.

To create bunnies, cut off cream puff tops. Cut large marshmallows crosswise into 3 pieces. Dip cut sides into decorator sugar for ears. Using toothpicks, attach marshmallows into top of cream puff for ears. Use melted candy coating to attach chocolate chips for eyes.

Just before serving, fill bottom half of cream puff with 1/3 cup filling. Press licorice strips for whiskers and pink candies for nose into filling. Place decorated cream puff top over filling. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.

Rapture Rose is Relaxing

Here's another pink...




Rapture Rose (Pantone 17-1929)

This week I posted a fabric swatch and a paint chip to show how the same color can be different based on the medium used. While our colors may not be exactly the same in recipes or fashion/ decor, the same basic color is found in each item.
