A friend mentioned that she made a Salmon Caprese for her sisters.
I had all the ingredients and decided that it sounded so good, and I made some.
I ate half and saved the other half for my son. Sweet potato fries are a weakness of mine and I baked some in my oven as an accompaniment. This was a fabulous meal!
Yield: 1
Salmon Caprese
I'm giving the ingredients for one piece of salmon, but it's easily doubled or quadrupled. It is so good!
Ingredients
- A 5-6 ounce piece of salmon
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- salt and pepper
- Fresh Mozzarella
- 1 small tomato, sliced, or some grape tomatoes that are cut in half
- garlic powder
- Fresh basil
- Balsamic vinegar (or use a Balsamic glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brush salmon with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place slices of fresh Mozzarella on top, and then place slices of tomato or grape tomatoes, that have been cut in half, on top of the cheese. Sprinkle with the garlic powder.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the salmon can easily be flaked with a fork. If your salmon is very thin, you may need to check at 15 minutes.
- While the salmon is baking, chiffonade the basil and then snip into small pieces. Also, heat a small amount of Balsamic vinegar for a few minutes, until it is thick.
- When the salmon is done, remove the skin if it has some, sprinkle with the basil and drizzle some of the Balsamic glaze on top.
- Buon Appetito!
I recently watched Bailey, my son Tim, DIL Julie, Avery and Ella's dog while they were gone for a week on vacation.
Cissy, who is 4th from the left on top, is going to be a senior this year, and I was asked to embroider the names of the senior varsity cheerleaders onto their beach towels. You can only see part of one girl's in the picture.
Thank you for your visit! xo
I'm sharing with these parties:
Oh that salmon dish sounds fabulous! I can't believe I've never thought to try that before. We love caprese chicken.
ReplyDeleteYour dinner sounds great Kitty, bet it would be good with chicken too:@)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Kitty. The salmon caprese looks delicious and is a perfect summertime dish. The cheerleaders are lovely girls and Cissy is blessed to have you as a grandmother! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteKitty, what a nice idea for the salmon. I will have to try this sometime. I used to make salmon so much (at least once a week) that we got tired of it! LOL. The salmon made this way sounds great. I hope you have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try the salmon. I just made a delicious smoked salmon dish served over capellini the other night.
ReplyDeleteYum on the salmon caprese! I love that Cissy asked you to embroider her friends' names (but how long did that take?). You're such a good Nana (is that your name they call you?)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Kitty.
ReplyDeleteYour Salmon Caprese sounds delicious and so easy too Kitty! What a wonderful meal, especially with your sweet potato fries. You’re so sweet to embroider all the senior girls’ beach towels. Cissy and the rest of your grands are lucky to have you! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead, stay cool ♥
I bet my husband would love the salmon, Kitty! I bet the girls love their towels, too. I'm sure they will always keep them as a special high school memento. That was very kind of you to do!
ReplyDeleteYour Salmon Caprese is making me hungry! I also have a fondness for sweet potato fries.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that Cissy is entering her senior year of high school. I remember when she was doing your summer camp...
What a beautiful meal Kitty! How sweet Cissy asked you to embroider their names on the towels, so nice of you! Have a great week~
ReplyDeleteJenna
This is a great dish for summer and to serve guests, thanks for sharing this. Hard to believe Cissy is all grown up in HS, yikes, they do so fast! Hope your week is going well Katy.......
ReplyDeleteDid you spoil Bailey rotten? ;P This recipe looks good! I would love it for an easy lunch when it's been so HOT! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a blessing to all who know you! How kind of you to do the embroidering! Bailey looks so sweet. I'm sure it was fun spending time with him. God bless you, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteYour salmon caprese looks tasty and especially with sweet potato fries. Bailey is a cutie. Cissy is a beauty. How special for you to embroider those towels. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat recipe looks delicious! Cissy is beautiful! Greetings.
ReplyDeleteOh I bet that's delicious. Bet Michael would love it, too. And those towels are awesome - love she asked you to do that. It's a big thing. My sis always got her 3 daughter's besties from high school back then towels with the college of their choices logo on it and hired someone to embroider their names on them as a grad gift. She did that for years. Hard to believe her youngest graduates in December. Time sure flies. Cissy will be there in no time. How did that even happen??? ♥
ReplyDeleteWe Love salmon and this recipe sounds great!!
ReplyDeleteLove the girls and the towels!!Well done!
hugs
Donna
What a great idea to embroider the towels for all the cheerleaders. A lot of work, but definitely worth it. This is a cute photo, which will be remembered through the years. I'm not a salmon lover, but my daughter loves to make the Caprese salad now and then. ;)
