Bourbon Salmon and Baby Peas

Bourbon salmon is a big favorite of ours. Our local Publix had a sale on Coho wild-caught salmon this week so we had salmon twice. Yum!

Bourbon Salmon (serves 2)
2 (6oz) salmon fillets
1/4 cup loosely packed brown sugar
1/2 cup brown deli mustard (can use spicy mustard)
1/4 cup bourbon (don't use a bourbon you wouldn't drink ... we use Gentleman Jack)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Combine bourbon, sugar, mustard in a gallon-sized plastic zipper bag. Mix well. Add salmon, seal, and marinate for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.

Turn the oven to broil and let it heat up for 5-10 minutes. Line a baking pan with foil and spritz lightly with cooking oil spray. Put the fillets on the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil for 9-10 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Baby Peas with Butter Sauce

Take a package of frozen peas and steam them in a Zip Lock Steamer Bag in the microwave (follow directions on the bag). Combine in a bowl with 1 tablespoon butter plus a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Microwave for 30 seconds to melt the butter.
