Salmon Bake

I often use my Demarle Flexipat® to bake meat entrees and roast veggie side dishes at the same time. Fish, chicken, pork chops, even ground meats can be cooked alongside a favorite selection of veggies. This week I chose to do Salmon with lemon and dill and a veggie mix with Herbs de Provence.

 

 

Nothing could be simpler. Toss the veggies in 1/8 C. oil (I prefer grape seed oil) and about 1 T. of spice. Rub the meat with a bit of oil and whatever spices fit the bill, and bake both at 375° for 15-20 minutes. The salmon should flake apart.

And the clean-up is a breeze. I do not miss cleaning the grill pan. 

Both reheat well as leftovers, too.

Fruit Pizza

The birthday girl requested a fruit pizza with strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and mandarin oranges:

The basic recipe is found on page 55 of our Desserts cookbook. I made the glaze with the juice from the canned mandarin and pineapple.

Hockey Puck Soup

I love to make home-made soup, especially during the winter months. Not only does it warm my tummy after filling the house with tempting aromas, there is much to share or save for later. True comfort food. One of the things that sold me on Demarle products was the idea of  freezing leftovers in the trays, and then storing them in freezer bags. It is so much healthier than using plastic ware that leeches chemicals into foods upon reheating. My favorite is the Round Tray, which holds six 8-ounce portions. The frozen bricks resemble hockey pucks, hence the nickname "hockey puck" soup.

Here's how you do it:

1. Place Flexipat tray of choice on the medium perforated baking sheet.
2. Fill wells with soup.   
3. Cover with the medium Silpat®
4. Place in freezer until portions freeze.
5. Remove from freezer and uncover.
6. Immediately pop out the frozen hockey pucks and place in a freezer bag.
7. Store hockey pucks in freezer.

To reheat, microwave a hockey puck in a bowl covered by the octagonal Silpat® or warm in DD stainless on your stove top over medium-low heat.
