Lemon Basil Salmon Rolls

Elegant and light, these salmon rolls are stuffed with creamy ricotta, Parmesan, and fresh basil, wrapped around tender asparagus, and finished with a bright lemon sauce. Perfect for special occasions or a refined weeknight dinner!

Ingredients

For the Salmon Rolls:

4 salmon fillets (about 5 oz each), skin removed

A pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper

1½ cups ricotta cheese, smooth and creamy

½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped

2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

½ pound fresh asparagus spears, ends trimmed

For the Lemon Sauce:

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

½ cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a lighter option)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (slurry)

Instructions

Step 1: Assemble the Salmon Rolls

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.

Lay the salmon fillets on a clean surface and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, basil, lemon zest, and a small pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.

Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture evenly over each salmon fillet.

Lay 2–3 asparagus spears across the center of each fillet.

Roll the salmon tightly around the asparagus, placing the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 2: Bake the Salmon Rolls

Bake the salmon rolls in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 3: Make the Lemon Sauce

While the salmon bakes, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Stir in the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice, allowing the mixture to warm through.

Add the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3–5 minutes.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

Remove the salmon rolls from the oven and arrange them on a serving platter.

Drizzle the warm lemon sauce generously

Crispy breaded mushrooms are a delicious appetizer or snack. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh mushrooms (button or cremini work best)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:…

1. Prep the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems if preferred, or you can keep them whole.

2. Set up your breading station: In one shallow bowl, place the flour. In another, whisk the eggs. In a third shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Coat the mushrooms:

Dip each mushroom into the flour first, making sure it’s lightly coated.

Then dip it into the egg mixture.

Finally, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure it sticks well.

4. Fry the mushrooms: Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (test by dropping in a breadcrumb — it should sizzle), add the mushrooms in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.

5. Drain and serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce (ranch, marinara, or aioli).

Creamy Apple Banana Smoothie

This smoothie is a delicious and healthy way to start your day or enjoy a quick snack. The combination of sweet banana and crisp apple creates a balanced and refreshing flavor.

Yields: 1-2 servings Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 large banana, peeled and sliced (preferably frozen for a thicker, colder smoothie)
• 1 medium apple, cored and chopped (any variety works, but red apples like Fuji or Gala add a nice sweetness)
• 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, soy, or oat milk)
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, enhances the apple flavor)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes (if using fresh banana)
• Sweetener to taste (optional, e.g., 1-2 teaspoons honey, maple syrup, or a date)

Equipment:

• Blender

Instructions:

2. Combine ingredients: Add the sliced banana, chopped apple, milk, and optional Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and sweetener to your blender.
3. Add ice (if needed): If you are using fresh banana, add the ice cubes now. If your banana is frozen, you might not need as much or any ice, depending on your desired consistency.
4. Blend: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

• Boost protein: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
• Different spices: A pinch of nutmeg or a tiny bit of ground ginger could also be nice.
• Make it a dessert: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a more indulgent treat.
