Favorite Main Dish Recipes

With all the food conversations going on about here, I thought it might be fun to share some of our favorite recipes for main dishes that we make from scratch, that is, without the help of Betty, Sara or the Pillsbury Doughboy :lol:
I'll start with mine for Baked Atlantic Salmon over Rice Pilaf;

Prepare and mix the following ingredients together:

• 2 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
• 5 Tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1 Teaspoon of crushed Rosemary leaves
• ½ clove garlic, diced
• dash of salt and pepper

Marinate fresh salmon (two or three portions) in above mixture (in glass dish or zip-lock bag) in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours before baking. Turn frequently.

Bake at 350° (F) for 22 minutes. Serve over Rice Pilaf and sliced tomatoes on the side. Serves two or three.

Enjoy

It sounds good but folks here like their fish dipped in a cornmeal batter
and fried. I like the salmon patties that I fix with Emeril's original
seasioning, cracker crumbs, one egg, and mix it up good and have a
skillet hot with a little olive oil. Yum! I know how to make them taste
real good!

Well, I live alone, so mine's for one ... but I guess you could double, triple quantities easily enough:
