Baked cheesy salmon (super easy)

Posted on by M Artisans

Pardon the photo, my family couldn’t wait to eat before I could snap some Instagram worthy photos. I’m sharing with you the recipe for this super easy and no fuss – baked cheesy salmon. 

ingredients

  • 2 lbs salmon fillet, boneless, with or without skin
  • 2 large garlic cloves, grated
  • lemon juice
  • ground black pepper and salt to taste
  • 1 cup cheese, shredded (I used monterey jack, cheddar and parmesan cheese)
  • parsely, finely chopped (optional)

 

procedure

  • preheat oven to 450 degrees F
  • line a large baking tray with parchment paper or a layer of cooking spray on a square baking dish will do
  • place the fillet with skin side down (if any) on the baking tray/dish, squeeze some lemon juice, rub garlic, sprinkle and rub salt and pepper then top with cheese
  • bake uncovered for 15 minutes
  • garnish with parsely if desired
  • serve warm and enjoy!

 

try this recipe today, it took me only 20 minutes to cook and about 5 minutes for my family to finish it 🙂

easy-peasy Macaroni Salad – recipe

Posted on by M Artisans

Anyone can make this super easy Macaroni salad, I used to make this with “Nanay” on special occasions or family get together. And she can make this with her eyes closed – it’s that easy!

let’s begin…

Serves: A family of 4-6

Prep time: 35 mins (plus 25 min cooking time for the Macaroni)

Ingredients:

  • 1 (700 ml) sachet of Mayonnaise
  • 1 – 200 grams Salad Macaroni
  • 1/3 cup minced carrots
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped onions (I prefer white onions)
  • 1/4 cup pickle relish
  • 1/3 cup diced ham (sweet cooked ham)
  • 1/2 cup pineapple tidbits (drained)
  • 2 cups chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
  • 1/2 cup processed cheese (cut into small dice)
  • 3 tbsp washed sugar (the light brown sugar because I’m not a fan of the white one)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

  1. cook the Macaroni as per packaging instructions
  2. in a separate bowl, combine all the ingredients. //pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js

    (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
    My number one rule in mixing (as with baking as well) is to mix dry ingredients first.

  3. then add the mayonnaise, & the cooled macaroni
  4. season it
  5. refrigerate
  6. and enjoy!

Simple “Bagoong” (Shrimp paste) Fried Rice – Recipe

Posted on by M Artisans

Here’s a super simple – no fuss – Bagoong fried rice recipe that you can cook in a snap, but you must have at least 3 tablespoons of a good shrimp paste, I think you can purchase a bottle from groceries. I used here the one my “Nanay” (grandmom) made for me. I believe it took me about 15 minutes or less to cook this fried rice. Pair it with your main course like pork adobo or roasted pork ribs makes a fantastic meal.

I adopted this recipe from a Thai dish I tasted and adjusted it a little. I’m sure you will like this version of mine plus you get to use your left-over rice, nothing gets wasted and everyone’s happy. Even happier after they try this 🙂

prep time:less than 15 minutes / good for 2-3 pax

  • 3 tbsp bagoong (shrimp paste) – but you can add some more if you desire 🙂
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 eggs (scrambled and fried then cut into strips)
  • 3 cups day-old rice
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • salt/pepper to taste (optional)

Begin, by heating the oil in a frying pan.

Add garlic, and fry until golden brown.

Put the bagoong (shrimp paste) and let it simmer a little then add the left-over rice.

Mix the rice and bagoong, marry them with flavors while adding a teaspoon of soy sauce.

lastly, bring in the strips of fried egg. add pepper/salt as you like.

combine…

and it’s now ready,

just like that,

enjoy 🙂

HomeMade

Posted on by M Artisans

I was introduced to the world of food way before I can remember. My grandmother who raised me up cooks the best homemade meals ever. And my classmates before would remember the yummy packed lunch prepped by my ‘ ‘Nanay’ (mother) dear. They were delighted as I share some with them. So now i have my own family, beloved recipes are passed down to me. And of course i have to tweak some ingredients and modernized the menus. The results are delicious, validated by full and happy tummies of my loved ones. I’m planning to post the recipes soon so please keep in touch.

Some photos to indulge my readers…
