Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF. Spray shallow baking pan with cooking spray.
• Pat salmon dry with paper towel. Place salmon skin side down in pan; brush with 1 tablespoon of the butter and sprinkle with garlic salt.
• Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, green onions, lemon peel and thyme in small bowl. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Press bread crumb mixture evenly on salmon fillets.
• Bake uncovered 15 to 25 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork. Serve immediately in a bed of cooked spinach, rice or pasta.

Steps:

• Lightly season the salmon with salt and pepper. Generously coat 1side of the salmon with the finely grated Parmesan. In a non-stick saute pan, add approximately 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and place over high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon in the pan cheese side down. Turn temperature down to medium heat and allow the salmon to cook about 4 minutes before flipping over. The idea is to form a nice crispy, lightly brown crust. Turn salmon and allow to cook another 3 or 4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside in a warm place until plating.
• Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Paste:
• In a blender or food processor, add the sun-dried tomatoes along with their oil, the garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil. Process the mixture on high speed approximately 1 minute until almost smooth. The mixture should be slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Basil Pesto
• In a blender or food processor, place the extra-virgin olive oil and garlic clove. Process until smooth. Add the basil leaves, and process for about 1 minute until mixture is relatively smooth. Add the Parmesan and process again until fully incorporated. Season the pesto with salt and pepper, to taste.
• To plate:
• Place a small mound of mash potatoes in the center of the plate. Place the asparagus on top of the mashed potatoes at an angle. Then put the salmon nicely on the plate, overlapping the asparagus. Drizzle the plate with both pestos and garnish the plate with the Parmesan crisp by securing it in the bed of mashed potatoes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heavily grease a cookie sheet (parchment paper is optional, but if using parchment, make sure it is heavily greased). In a 5-inch diameter circle, sprinkle the coarsely grated Parmesan. Make sure there is just enough to fill the circle, don't over do it! Place in oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool before lifting from cookie sheet. Be extremely gentle with them they are very brittle when cool.
• Cut off about 2 inches of the ends of the asparagus, as they tend to be very coarse and tough. Blanch asparagus in boiling, well-salted water until tender. Shock them in ice water to keep them from cooking any further and hold them until you are ready to plate. Right before plating, in a saute pan over a low flame, melt the butter with the asparagus. Once the asparagus are hot, season with salt and white pepper.
• Place the potatoes in cold, salted water over high heat. Cook thoroughly and strain. In a separate pot, heat heavy cream and butter. Using a potato masher, mash potatoes. Slowly incorporate the cream and butter mixture. Season with salt and white pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• In a medium bowl, mix the parmesan crust ingredients.
• In a separate bowl, whisk egg. Dredge the salmon in the egg, then parmesan.
• Lay the salmon on a baking sheet. Lay asparagus beside the salmon. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes.
• Enjoy!

• Whisk egg in a separate bowl.
• Dredge the salmon in the egg, then the breading mixture.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium heat.
• Once the pan is ready, add the salmon and let cook on one side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
• Serve salmon with a side of your favorite veggies. We used asparagus.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375*.
• Cut fillet into 4 pieces.
• Rinse and pat dry.
• Grease baking sheet. (I cover with foil and use a little olive oil. It makes clean up a breeze!).
• Lay fillet pieces on prepared sheet, skin down.
• Combine all remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Slather entire mixture on top of fillet pieces.
• Bake in preheated 375* oven for 15 minutes or until done. This depends on thickness.
• Serve with your favorite sides!
• Note: Since there are only 2 of us, I prepare this in my toaster oven. It works great!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Place chicken breasts on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the thickest part of the breasts, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.
• Combine butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
• Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and basil in another dish.
• Dip chicken in butter mixture, then coat in Parmesan-crumb mixture. Place into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink and juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
