FReeper Food 101..  :)

You should add this to your basic recipe list.. consider this recipe more of a suggestion rather than a true recipe because just about any fish can be substituted for the salmon, and the butter goes equally well on grilled beef, chicken, and pork.

Grilled Salmon with Mustard Butter

• 4 oz unsalted butter at room temperature
• 3 Tbs. Dijon style mustard
• 1 tsp dry mustard
• 2 Tbs. chopped chives
• 2 Tbs. chopped parsley
• 1 Tsp fresh lemon juice
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 4 - 6 salmon steaks or fillets, about 6 - 8 oz each
• 2 Tbs. olive oil

1) Combine the butter, mustards, herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
2) Roll the mixture into a log about 4 inches (10 cm) long and wrap in plastic wrap.  Refrigerate until firm.
3) Rub the salmon steaks with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4) Place on a grill over moderate heat and cook, turning once, until the flesh is firm to the touch and opaque throughout.
5) Place a 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick slice of the butter on each portion.
Serves 4 to 6. ENJOY!

Another interesting sweetener I've discovered is Xylitol, a derivative of corn or birch.

??! Birch as in birch trees??! Does other sugar substitutes use this??

Here's why I'm stunned. During this time of weight loss, I've been having a terrible time with fragrances of any kind, to the point where I can't breathe. My doctor sent me to an allergist who determined I've got asthma. She had tested me for allergies and it turns out that besides allergies to dust mites and mold (who isn't), I'm allergic to birch trees, of all things. Since then, I've found that Slenda has been the source of my asthma - now that it's out of my system, I'm fine again. (Thank God! The three prescriptions for the asthma would have been costly!)

This is too weird! Got some serious researching to do! Thanks for that bit of info, PoisedWoman!!

[RJayneJ]

Thanks! I have selfish motives, because I already have found myself going back looking for a recipe or two that I know has been posted.

I hate it when I get decked like this, especially this time of year. I get a massage every two weeks and the guy that does it can work magic. I'm calling him today!

[jellybean]

I know a lady who does deep muscle massage. I've never needed her service, but those who've gone to her say they feel so much better afterward.

Hope this guy works his magic for you :)

Please take care my dear girl, I'm going to think of you often over this holiday. I will be once again, a Featured Chef on a great cruise, this time on a Norwegian Cruise over Thanksgiving, teaching others a short-cut through the kitchen to a better life..
I know, I know, it's a tough life.. but, alas ... someone has to do it!!!.. grin

Whew, I can't stand salmon. So this would work with Tuna, Trout and Halibut?

BTTT

[carlo3b]

Yes, all of the above.. really any firm fish.. Enjoy.. :)

LowCarb MooLess Soothin Smoothies

A great refreshing Non-Dairy beverage.

I'm curious about this recipe. Since it's non-dairy, what do I do with the cup of milk?

[carlo3b]

Oops...... 1 cup SOY MILK.. how did that happen.. LOLOLOL..*%^*$%^$#

[jellybean]

Ahhh..OK! I thought perhaps I was supposed to just taunt the milk...

Allergic to birch trees? How original of you. Hope you are not surrounded by them. You'd better not try Xylitol then, as they're rather unclear about the source. Splenda doesn't say anything about the source, other than "sugar," but sugar from what? One might ask about other things as well. Glad your allergy has been nipped in the bud, Ladysmith.

Best wishes for continued good health,
