Talapia

Whole Foods date nights are a lot of fun. Rather than going to a restaurant, we'll go to a nice market and pick up ingredients that are a little pricier than we may choose normally. We found a coconut lime marinade, decided to pair it with some talapia.

We marinated the fish in the fridge for one hour and then lightly sprinkled it with plain bread crumbs. . We baked it at 400 degrees for 13 minutes

The fish was light creamy and yummy. We still have plenty of the marinade for more dinners. We served the fish over some plain white rice and with a small salad. What a yummy date night!

Wasabi Encrusted Salmon

Keith and I received a number of Harry and David gift baskets for Christmas. One of the sets included two pretzel dips: honey mustard and wasabi mustard. Honey mustard pecan encrusted salmon is one of my favorite dishes to make, but I decided to try a variation to take advantage of this wasabi mustard.

I will admit that I'm not the greatest wasabi fan, but I figured that the mustard would help mellow out the spiciness. I spread the mustard over the salmon, sprinkled on Italian seasoned bread crumbs, and then baked at 400 degrees F until it was cooked through.

Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the final product (I guess I was too hungry). I assure you that it was so delicious that I cannot wait to make it again!
