Recipes for Mothers Day

My family wanted the recipes we used for mothers day.

Sensational Spiced Salmon

2 TB brown sugar

4 tsp chili powder

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

3/4 teas ground cumin

1/2 teas salt

1/4 teas ground cinnamon

4 salmon fillets (4 ounces each)

Combine the first six ingredients; rub over salmon.  Place in a large baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 15-20 min. or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Rice Pilaf

1/2 cup uncooked fine egg noodles, broken

2 teas canola oil

1 TB butter

1 cup uncooked long grain rice (I use brown and some black rice)

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 c water (increase water by 3/4 cup)

2 teas low sodium chicken bouillon granules

1/4 teas salt

1/4 teas pepper

1/4 c minced fresh parley (I used 1 TB dried)

In a large saucepan, cook and stir noodles in oil and butter until lightly browned.  Stir in the rice and garlic; cook 2 min longer.  Add the water, bouillon, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 13 min.  Stir in parsley; cover and cook 2-5 min longer or until rice is tender.  Brown rice will take longer to cook.
