Baked salmon with maple mustard sauce and roasted veggies

1 serving prepared

Here's what I have:

Protein:
4.1 oz Salmon

1:1 seasoning 1/2 tbsp each

Salt

Pepper

Paprika

Mustard powder

Sauce:

0.6 oz Dijon mustard

0.9 oz Maple syrup

Veggies:

3.6 oz Carrots

2.7 oz Onion

3.8 oz Brussel sprout

0.2 oz Avocado oil

Preparation:

The oven was preheated to 425 degrees.

To prep the vegetables they were tossed with the avocado oil half of the spice mix and all of the minced garlic and stirred until everything was coated well. The rest of the spice mix was used to coat the salmon fillet.

In a non-stick oven safe pan over medium-high heat the vegetables were added. These were cooked for about 8 minutes and then the salmon was added to the other side. The pan was put into the oven for 10 minutes.

The sauce was prepared by heating up the stone ground mustard and syrup making sure to stir well until the mixture was slightly bubbly and then it was removed from the stove top.

The plate!

The sauce was a bit more runny then I was expecting and completely coated the salmon immediately. It still tasted great just needed a little bit more time to cook and thicken up. The combination works really well over the salmon and vegetables as well.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
