Yummy Salmon

I don't really have an official name for this dish. I got the idea for the sauce from a recipe online and then have kind of made it my own. If you aren't a fish person, you can also use the sauce for chicken or pork - especially a pork tenderloin on the grill!

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound of salmon filet
1 cup of soy sauce
1/2 cup of pancake syrup
2 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Any seasonings - I like salt, pepper and a little chili powder

DIRECTIONS
1.Mix all ingredients except the salmon.
2. Decide what your cooking method will be: bake or grill
3. If baking, place salmon in a greased casserole dish. Pour sauce over salmon. Bake at 350* for about 20 minutes. Fish is done when it flakes easily. (For baking pork or chicken, I would bake at least 40 minutes)
4. If grilling, coat salmon with half of sauce. Grill for about 15 minutes on medium flame and baste with remaining sauce as it cooks. (For grilling port or chicken, grill about 10 minutes longer).

Cheater Shepherds Pie

This is a casserole recipe that is one of our favorites. It's simple and tasty, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. Here's the scoop...

Serves 6
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. ground turkey
1 can of green beans
1 can of corn
1 can of mushrooms
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
2 cups of mashed potatoes
1/2 cup of onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced

(Note: You can use any combination of canned or frozen veggies that you wish. Also, any variation of "cream of" soup is fine. To save time, you'll also occasionally catch me using instant mashed potatoes!)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350*
2. Brown the turkey with the onions.
3. While the turkey cooks, place vegetables into large casserole dish. Prepare mashed potatoes accordingly.
4.When the turkey is browned, combine with the veggies in the casserole dish. Mix in both cans of soup.
5. Spread mashed potatoes over casserole. Bake for 1 hour.
6. If desired, sprinkle cheese or french fried onions on top and bake an additional 5 minutes.

Enjoy!!
