Sesame Crusted Salmon I’m sticking this recipe in my 15 Minute Meals collection even though technically it takes 20 minutes to make, and in my Asian recipes collection even though technically it isn’t an authentic Asian recipe. Because in my head, it’s worthy of being in both those collections – the salmon itself takes less than 15 minutes to cook and this bowl has all sorts of Asian-ness in it with the soba, Asian greens, the Asian dressing and that sesame crusted salmon (don’t ask me why but I think of sesame as an Asiany ingredient even though I know it’s used widely in all sorts of cuisines all around the world 🤗)....

Sheet pan dinners…what did we ever do to deserve you? Rather than paying attention to 3 separate things on the stovetop and then cleaning up that mess, we can simply throw everything in the oven at once with only one pan to clean at the end! Sheet pan dinners are a busy family’s dream. Chicken caprese is just downright delicious. It would be worth the clean up even if it wasn’t all contained on a sheet pan....

Welcome to Day 8 of the inaugural Holiday Salad Marathon, where I’m sharing 30 salads in a row through to Christmas Eve – just for something different to the usual sugar-loaded baking countdowns!! I’ve got a rather unique salad for you today! A SICHUAN one (but no, it’s not spicy, it’s to cool your mouth between fiery mains!): Creamy Sesame Sauce Lettuce Salad We (the RecipeTin Family) believe this salad and sauce originates from around the Sichuan and Chongqing areas of China (if any readers can confirm that’d be great!...

Sometimes you just need something totally delicious and comforting. This is exactly that. Your mouth is about to explode with happiness. I’m telling you, this is just pure deliciousness. You can eat it as an appetizer for sure, but we kept sitting down and eating it as a full on meal. In this recipe I call for flank steak. You can also use skirt steak, sirloin, or even a New York strip....

The easiest way to get my husband to eat fish is to cover it in sugar and grill it. Served up with rice mixed with cheese and I know I’ll get no complaints! The fact that it’s actually a pretty healthy meal with salmon and veggies doesn’t even come into it (for him anyway). Sorry Chris, I make you sound like a small child that I have to fool into eating healthy stuff....

I’ve used ramen noodles because I had them in the pantry, but this recipe is suitable for most dried or fresh noodles. Or even spaghetti – yes, really! Teriyaki Salmon Noodles My mother is such a stickler for the traditional in Japanese foods that she once wrote a furious letter to a TV network after watching a celebrity chef make what she judged to be total mockery of authentic tempura....

Pro Tip: Not all butter is created equal – fat contents vary – so it is important that the the final uncooked product for the crust is dry and somewhat crumbly. If it is too sticky add in 1 tablespoon of flour until it resembles wet sand. Lime Juice: While we know that freshly squeezed juice is always best, it is near impossible to find key limes outside of Florida!...

Why is it called a Boston Cream Pie? This cake gets its name from a time period when cakes and pies were cooked in the same pans so the names were used interchangeably. Nowadays, we might call this a Boston Cream Cake, but the “pie” part has stuck to this classic dessert. Do I have to use buttermilk? The buttermilk in this cake interacts with the baking powder to help the cake rise....

What is the best bread for The Ultimate Garlic Bread Recipe? Garlic bread can be made using any bread. We have found that we like to make ours on a French bread loaf or another artisan type baguette. We like having a crisp exterior with a soft crumb on the inside. You can always make a great piece of garlic bread using a country style artisan loaf, sourdough, or thick pieces of bread....

TOP TIP: Treat it like bacon, and don’t forget the bone! It’s un-Australian to make a Glazed Ham that’s just big enough to serve the exact number you’re catering for. Have leftover ham is practically a Christmas ritual in itself. On Day 1, it’s all exciting to use the leftover ham to make lunch rolls. Day 2, it’s already starting to lose its appeal. By Day 3, you start looking up how long the leftover ham will keep for, and how to freeze it....

Monkfish recipe Monkfish, also known as Stargazer in Australia, is affectionately known as “poor man’s lobster” because the flesh resembles lobster meat – only much more economical. The cooked meat of a monkfish has a similarly meaty and succulent texture, with a sweet and clean flavour that’s not fishy at all. Monkfish fillets are also thick and hefty like lobster tails. With this in mind, this recipe for monkfish is based on a way I like to prepare lobster tails: pan-seared with a Herb Brown Butter Sauce....

The translation of Cacio e Pepe literally means cheese and pepper. This pasta dish is incredibly simple, but packs a lot of rich flavor with pecorino Romano cheese and freshly ground pepper. It has a very rich and strong flavor due to the Pecorino Romano sharp cheese as well as the heavy amount of pepper. Warning: some might find this dish spicy. Cheese Options: This is a classic Roman dish, so you should use a hard cheese from the Roma region of Italy for the most authentic flavor....

What is the best type of bread to use for bruschetta? Most types of rustic loaves of bread or high-quality artisan loaves of bread make a perfect bruschetta. If you like sourdough bread, that can work great as well. A long skinny French baguette is a classic choice. Our favorite place to get bread for bruschetta is always local European-style bakeries. Not only do they make authentic bread, but it is also a great way to support local businesses....

Terrific as a dip for chips or vegetable sticks, as a sauce for all things Mexican including quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and tacos. Avocado Sauce This is a terrific Avocado Sauce that I use for all things Mexican. Pictured above with Quesadillas, the other recipe I published today. It pairs really well with Mexican food because it’s got a lovely bright flavour which tempers the bold flavours of Mexican food – and of course is reminiscent of our ever favourite Guacamole!...

My mum used to make my sister and I twice baked potatoes when we were kids. I don’t think they were called twice baked potatoes back then. We referred to them as ’those jacket spuds with the mashed up bacon and cheese inside’ when we regularly requested them. I posted the recipe for those ones when I first started the blog here. If you want to see the worst food photography in the world, you should definitely go and check them out....
