Right now, eating out at restaurants can be expensive. Why not prepare a salmon recipe to make supper at home easy and tasty?

Raw salmon is a fleshy and hearty fish that is dark pink to red in color. As a fish, salmon is moist, easy to cook and is tasty to eat. Plus, there are many ways to cook salmon recipes. Since salmon is readily available on the market place, it is easy to cook and versatile.

Salmon is often considered the “steak” of fish. You can buy different varieties of salmon include Alaskan, king salmon, coho salmon among others at a fish market or even a local grocery store. Specialty health food stores, like Whole Foods, stock up on fresh, wild salmon which is free of farm-raised residues.

There are many different types of a salmon recipe to choose from. Salmon is often grilled, baked, poached, blackened, sauteed and made into salmon patties.

Salmon is a a highly nutritious food. It is high in protein, and the “good fats,” including the omega-3 complex. A four ounce serving of wild salmon is one of the few foods that provides a full day’s requirement of vitamin D. That same portion of a salmon filet has more than half of the necessary B12, niacin, and selenium, and is an excellent source of B6 and magnesium.

The omega-3 fats found in salmon tend to reduce inflammation in our bodies. Since inflammation causes many health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, some types of cancers and arthritis, eating salmon is a wise choice. Omega-3’s also help prevent the blood clots which cause many strokes.

My home has always had a tradition of cooking wonderful seasonal biscotti for Christmas - we eat them with breakfast and as a really scrumptious snack with late afternoon coffee.

We had an good family recipe, that we used for decades, but last year we resolved to add a little bit of variety and tried a different recipe that I acquired.

I found it from an internet recipe collection, and it turned out really yummy.

And here it is for you to make for yourself:

Recipe for Christmas Biscotti

You will need :

Half a cup of butter or margarine
One cup of sugar
Two and a half cups of baking powder
One teaspoon of crushed aniseed
Two whole eggs
One egg yolk
One egg white
Three cups of flour
Half a cup of chopped candied red cherries
Half a cup of mixed candied fruit
One tablespoon of finely shredded orange peel
One egg white
One tablespoon of sugar

Directions :

Use an electric mixer on medium/high speed to beat the butter or margarine in a large bowl for 30 seconds.

Now add the cup of sugar, the baking powder, and the aniseed and beat until it is well mixed. Now beat in the whole eggs and the egg yolk.

Now add the flour, beating in as much as possible using the food mixer, and then stirring the rest in by hand. Add the candied fruit and orange peel and stir them in by hand.

Split the dough into two equal halves and shape each half into loaf shape of approximately 11″ x 2″ X 1″. Lightly grease a cookie sheet, and place both of these ‘loaves’ on the sheet.

Put the egg white and one teaspoon of water into a cup and stir well together, then brush the mix over the two dough loaves.

Now sprinkle the tablespoon of sugar over them.

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F, and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until they are light brown. Remove and place on a cookie sheet to cool for 60 minutes or so. When cool, cut each, diagonally, into slices of about half an inch wide.

Put these slices ‘cut side up’ onto an un-greased cookie sheet, and bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes.

Flip the slices over and bake for another 10 to 13 minutes until they are crispy.

Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.

This recipe should make around 35 biscotti.

When they have cooled down enough, you can store them in a normal biscuit tin, or anything else that will keep them dry. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

If, like us, you desire a change from your regular holiday cooking, try looking through some of the internet collections of Christmas recipes recipes, you might enjoy what you will find. In the future, I plan on finding some tasty new cake recipes for the festivities - anything will be tastier than christmas pudding.
