Gone fishin

For supper tonight I decided to make something different. I found a recipe on Paula Deens wabsite for Peach BBQ sauce. She used it on Tilapia. I got to thinking it would probably go good on salmon. I had two very nice Salmon filets in the fridge. I made the Peach BBQ sauc earlier today and let it cool. That way all the flavors had time to mingle and come together. I salted and peppered my filets and seared them in a skillet with a little bacon drippings in the pan. I will get to the bacon in a bit. The filets cooked for approx 4 min skin side up then I flipped them and they cooked for approx 4 more min. this was over med heat. Brushed on a little BBQ sauce right at the end of cooking. I let them rest for about 10 min. after cooking. Added a little more BBQ sauce. They were very moist and flakey. My two side are Herb roasted potatoes and french cut green beans.

Potatoes were peeled and cut into about 1" peices. Cut up 5 peices of bacon into small peices and browned them off in a skillet. Resered the peices and poured a little of the bacon drippings over the potatoes in a small casserole dish. Tossed the potatoes to coat with the bacon drippings (light coat). Sprinkled on Italian herbs and salt and pepper. Covered with tin foil and placed in a 400 degree oven for about 30 min until fork tender. Removed foil and turned on broiler for a few min to help them brown a little. When done sprinkle the reserved bacon peices over the top of the potatoes.

The green beans were a can of french cut green beans. placed them in a small boiler with a couple of strips of bacon and a litle salt and pepper. Bring them to a boil anf turn down to a low simmer, let them simmer on low for about 45 min. Some people dont like there beans cooked down that much you can ajust the simmer time to your liking.

BBQ sauce is easy to make its a Paula Deen Recipe.

3/4 c Ketchup

3Tbs prep. mustard

1/2c oil

1/2c Apple cider vinegar

pinch of Garlic salt ( I didnt have any so I used 2 cloves of chopped garlic)

3Tbs Worcestorchire sauce

2tsp paprika

1/4c lemon juice

1tsp pepper

3 Tbs Brown sugar

3/4 water

1/2c onion chopped

2c peaches fresh or canned

Combine everything in a boiler except peaches. Cook on med low heat for about 20 min. until thickened a little. Blend the 2 cups of peaches in a blender and then mix them into the sauce. Let cool. I put the sauce back into the blender to puree the onions and garlic.
