How Long Do You Bake Red Potatoes In The Oven Recipe - Yahoo Recipe Search
Yummly## This one-pan baked salmon recipe is a dinnertime problem-solver Flavorful salmon is healthy, delicious and quick-cooking: Perfect for a weeknight meal that doesn’t compromise on taste or nutrition. This genius baked salmon dinner for two cooks all together on one baking sheet, complete with vegetable sides. It can easily become a dinner for four on two sheet pans if you double the quantities. Line the pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper for fast cleanup. The key technique here is to stagger cooking times - the longer-cooking potatoes go into the pan first, tossed in olive oil with a few grinds of black pepper. The more delicate asparagus and salmon are placed on the pan later. This salmon recipe also allows you to adjust cooking time to the thickness of your particular salmon fillets: Potatoes and asparagus, unlike the fish, are forgiving of a few extra minutes in the oven. This way, you can concentrate on getting perfectly cooked salmon that is flaky but not overcooked. The finishing touch is lemon juice squeezed at the table — lay a few lemon slices on top before baking if you want a yummy double lemon punch. The recipe is a Yummly original created by [Edwina Clark, RDN](https://www.yummly.com/dish/author/edwina-clark-rdn). ## How to buy salmon Buying salmon can feel like a high-risk proposition: It’s pretty pricey, so you want to get it right. Look for salmon that looks moist and doesn’t have brown spots or dried edges. Wild salmon will be redder in color than farmed. Wild versus farmed continues to be hotly debated: Wild salmon is higher in healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and generally leaner overall, so it’s arguably better for you. But it’s also usually more expensive. Generally speaking, any salmon is healthy food, so if the farmed option looks good at the store, there’s no need to skip it for nutritional reasons. Many stores will slice you fresh fillets from the fish on request - if that’s an option, it’s the best way to get moist fillets. Ask them to remove any bones for you, too. If your fillet comes with the bones in, you can remove them with tweezers: Just run your hands along the fish and pull out any bones you feel. ## Is salmon sustainable? This one goes in the “it’s complicated” category. There are many sustainable salmon sources, but not all are, so check the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch fish-sustainability page for the exact salmon you're considering: http://www.seafoodwatch.org/seafood-recommendations/groups/salmon. If salmon is unavailable (or too expensive), keep in mind that both arctic char and steelhead are alternatives that cook and taste like similar. They can be swapped into this salmon recipe ounce for ounce; the same is true for any similar recipe. ## Is salmon healthy? Yes, salmon is healthy: it’s high in protein, as well as full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and bone-protecting selenium. LIke almost any fish, mercury contamination is a concern - but if you just don’t eat salmon every day, you’re in the clear. Pregnant or nursing women should look into this more carefully; ask your doctor about what fish to avoid, if any. Salmon is also gluten-free, paleo, and low-carb. ## What does salmon look like when it’s cooked? Cooking time depends on fillet thickness. The fish’s flesh will change from translucent red/pink and noticeably “raw-looking” to opaque pink and flaky in texture when cooked. You want to pull it out of the oven when the center is still red but the rest has cooked to lighter pink. It will keep cooking with residual heat, and since fish cooks quickly, and dries out when overcooked, it’s easy to overdo it. Be sure to preheat oven fully before you place salmon in; that will help you time more accurately. ## Variations Teriyaki glazed salmon is a classic, but you can also create your own new recipes by adding a few cloves garlic, fresh parsley, Dijon or ginger to the mix. A simple treatment of extra-virgin olive oil, kosher salt and black pepper is also delicious.YummlyAt Thanksgiving and Christmas, millions of families around the world gather around baked ham. But you don't have to wait for a special occasion. Baked ham is ideal, anytime you need to feed a crowd. And, if you're looking to impress, our baked ham with mojo sauce recipe won't let you down. _What is a baked ham?_ Ham refers to any slice of pork from a pig's back leg. A whole ham is the entire limb – from the hip to the knee. Most supermarket hams have been preserved and cooked. So, in preparing a baked ham, you're not cooking it, but infusing it with all-important flavor and heat. _What kind of baked ham should you buy?_ There's more than one kind of baked ham. For maximum flavor, go for a bone-in whole ham. If you're nervous about the complications of carving, choose a spiral-cut ham, which comes pre-sliced. Even easier to carve than a spiral ham is a boneless ham, but it's significantly less flavorful. Plus, once you've eaten a bone-in whole ham, you can use the bone for soup! Whole hams are preserved in one of two ways: wet-curing or dry-curing. The typical commercial ham – known as “city ham” – is wet-cured, which means it's been injected with brine. Less common is “country ham”, which is dry-cured. This process, which originated in France over 2,000 years ago, involves salting the ham, before hanging it to dry – for months or even years! Country hams are tastier than city hams, but they're also more expensive. _How big should your baked ham be?_ Too much baked ham is better than not enough. After all, you can easily add the leftover ham to sandwiches, pastas, pizzas and breakfasts. As a rule of thumb, for each guest, buy 3/4 to one pound of bone-in ham or 1/2 pound of boneless ham. In other words, to feed twenty people, you need 15-20 pounds of bone-in baked ham or 10 pounds of boneless baked ham. Just be sure that whatever you buy can fit in your roasting pan or baking dish. _How do you prepare baked ham?_ There's a cornucopia of baked ham recipes to try, including our mouthwatering baked ham with mojo sauce. Whichever you decide upon, preparation begins with scoring. Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts across the baked ham, creating a diamond pattern. The cuts should be an inch apart and 1/8 inch deep. Scoring a baked ham not only looks good, it also intensifies flavor, by allowing the glaze to seep into the meat. _How long does it take to cook baked ham?_ Cooking time varies, depending on size. Generally, for each pound of weight, the ham should spend 10 minutes in the oven. For a 15-pound baked ham, that's 150 minutes – or 2 ½ hours. But don't leave it to guesswork. After two hours, place a thermometer into the thickest section: If it reads 140º F internal temperature, your baked ham is ready; if not, it needs more time. Be sure to pre-heat the oven to 350ºF. _How do you keep a baked ham from becoming dry?_ Most baked ham recipes involve two elements: liquid (usually wine, stock or sauce) and glaze. To prevent dryness and keep the ham juicy, baste every 15-20 minutes, and, to prevent burning, don't glaze until 15-30 minutes before the baked ham is due to come out of the oven. _More baked ham recipes_ Most baked ham glazes include a sweet liquid, such as honey or maple syrup, and spices.
