Salmon is an oily fish that is full of omega 3 fatty acids. Be careful not to over cook your salmon. The rule of thumb for cooking fish that is used by most professional cooks is to measure it at the thickest area of the fish. Cook the fish for 10 minutes per inch. If you’re grilling or oven cooking your fish and it’s wrapped in foil or covered in sauce the best rule of thumb is to cook it 15 minutes per inch. If your baking or grilling take the fish out about 2 minutes before the required cooking time as the fish will continue to cook for a couple of minutes once removed from the heat source.

Supreme Strawberry Spinach Salad

March 9, 2009 By The Recipe Mom Leave a Comment

What You Need:

1 (8 oz.) pkg. baby spinach
1/4 C red onion, sliced into rings
1 pint strawberries, sliced
8 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 C red onion, sliced into rings
1 C mayonnaise
1/2 C sugar
1/4 C raspberry vinegar

How to Make It:

Put the spinach into a large salad bowl.
Layer the onion rings over the spinach.
Spread the sliced strawberries over the spinach.
Sprinkle the bacon over the top of the entire salad.
Place the mayonnaise into a mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the sugar into the bowl with the mayonnaise.
Pour the raspberry vinegar into the mixture and whisk until the ingredients are completely incorporated together.
Pour the dressing over the salad and allow it to set 15 minutes while the dressing soaks into the salad.

Serves: 8

The salad won’t need to be tossed if you allow it to stand so the dressing can soak in. This leaves your salad in layers and gives it an attractive look when placed on the table. If you prefer, use a sweet salad dressing instead of the mayonnaise and sugar. Just whisk the vinegar into the salad dressing until well combined.
