Slow baked Salmon in a rum mustard maple glaze

I had a friend (a former colleague) and  her son over for dinner tonight, she brought dessert and helped with dishes...woot woot.

So I have heard about slow baking salmon at 250 for 30 minutes, so tonight was the night to try it...it was incredible and has an amazing texture and flavour.


Tonight's Slow Baked Salmon, in a rum mustard maple glaze


-1 oz rum
-1 tablespoon maple syrup
-juice of half a lemon
-1 tablespoon dijon mustard
-1 tablespoon honey mustard
-1 tablespoon tamari soya sauce
-1 teaspoon hot sauce
-1 medium scallion chopped

I mixed together.  I placed olive oil on salmon skin so it doesn't stick.  Then I placed salmon skin down in a casserole dish and covered with mixture.  I baked for 35 minutes...it was incredible.

Ham in a Maple Mustard Pineapple glaze

Tonight's dinner I bought a little ham, I scored the ham to allow the glaze to seep into ham.


Glaze


1 oz 1919 rum
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons smoked mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 small pineapple in chunks


I covered in glaze let sit overnight and baked in an oven for 40 minutes.

Miso Ginger Rum Salmon

Good evening everyone, I just finished another busy 12 hour day at work.   I have made a colourful dinner tonight.  In fact I think I have covered all the colour in the rainbow.  Tonight I have started with a mixed lettuce salad with cranberries, purple carrots, peppercorn goat cheese and red pepper.

Then I pan fried king oyster mushrooms with onions, purple and orange carrots, in a frying pan in a small amount of butter until mushrooms golden brown.  Then I added red wine.  (I always keep wine that has outlived it's drinking days for recipes like this) I also added chopped garlic, ginger and scallions.

I also added quinoa from dinner last night at the end to warm up.

I made a delicious Miso Ginger Rum Salmon.
