Baked Spicy Mustard Wild Salmon

When I find something I like in the kitchen I tend to try it on every dish I can. Here I’m using this delicious fermented chile paste to spice up my baked salmon!

• Preheat the oven to 425.

• In a small bowl mix:

  • 1 tbsp of stone ground mustard

  • 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard,

  • 1 tbsp of fermented chile paste

  • 1 tbsp of soy sauce.

I’m using frozen wild salmon I bought at Whole Foods and defrosted in the refrigerator overnight.

Take 2 filets from the packaging and pat them as dry as possible. They’ll be a lot of water since they were frozen.

Place aluminum foil on a baking sheet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 2 pinches of sea salt.

Place the 2 filets on the baking sheet, skin side down, and then evenly coat them with your mustard and chile mixture. Place in the oven and cook for 7 minutes.

Spicy Roasted Brussels

A different take on brussels to add some spice to your life!

• Preheat the oven to 425.

• Cut the stems off the brussels and then quarter them.

• Toss them the brussels in a bowl with:

  • 2 tbsp of olive oil

  • 1 tbsp of Primal Buffalo Sauce

  • 1 tbsp of Fermented Chile paste

  • 1/2 tbsp of sweet baby rays hot sauce (any hot sauce will do)

  • And 2 pinches: salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and a few dashes of chili powder.

• Mix with your hands to evenly coat the brussels.

• Add 1 handful of chopped walnuts, and 1 handful of raisins.

Spread out on a baking sheet and let cook for 15 minutes. I did 20 and they came out really crispy, aka burnt, see below, but I like them that way so 🤷‍♂️.

Spicy Roasted Carrots

Cooking Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 425.

• Cut 5 - 6 carrots in half, and then again lengthwise. Then cut on a slant into bite size pieces and toss in a bowl or cooking dish (glass Pyrex works).

• Add 4 pinches of sea salt.

• Add 4 pinches of black pepper

• Add 2 tbsp of olive oil.

• Add 1 tbsp of fermented chili paste.

• Add 1 tsp of hot sauce.

• Toss with your hands until the carrots are evenly coated.

• Place in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes (23 was the magic number for me).

Add a handful to any dish for a delicious treat!
