Baked Salmon Fillets Dijon
My husband liked this more than I did, but that said, I thought it was a nice change. I spread course ground mustard (lightly) and olive oil, & then I piled on the breadcrumbs. I added fresh chopped garlic and garlic powder, oregano, and fresh ground black pepper. I used frozen salmon, so cooking was longer, and I added wine to keep the whole thing moist. I baked in the oven at 350. I would make this again; I think I will defrost the salmon first, so that the garlic doesn’t burn. I didn’t have the issues around soggy breadcrumbs, mine were very crisp and added a nice crunch. Served with a salad, brown rice and sliced tomatoes, this was a nice meal. We won’t be eating it weekly, but I will make it again.

Basil Shrimp
I made this one evening; it is similar to Cajun Bar-B-Que shrimp. In my mind the basil didn't really add anything. I think I like Cajun BBQ shrimp better; just use a lot of Black pepper, Old Bay, and butter, sans the lemon and basil. Cajun BBQ is the sort of shrimp you need a lot of crusty French bread for dipping into the sauce. Not a calorie conscious meal.

Lemon and Thyme Lamb Chops
I can't seem to follow any recipes exactly, so of course I changed this one. I added garlic, like 6 cloves chopped, instead of thyme, I used approx 2 TBS fresh-chopped rosemary (I have it growing in my garden), some fresh oregano, and I did use the olive oil, lemon juice and salt/pepper to taste, but I doubled the amounts to marinade the lamb chops. I marinated the chops overnight about 24-30 hours. We grilled it in the next evening. Served with potatoes, grilled veggies, and a nice red wine. Voila, it was GREAT!
