Cooking time:  25 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

       An easy Friday night dinner.  

Salmon with Hot and Sweet Glaze

Total time: 25 minutes
     The mustard and brown sugar glaze works well with the slightly sweet flavor of salmon.  Use hotter mustard if you want more of a 'kick'.  I used fillets rather than steaks: they cook in less time and the larger surface captures more of the glaze.

Salmon with Hot and Sweet Glaze Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Note:  For easy clean up cover pan with foil first.  This is especially nice if you are using fillets with the skin on.  You can carefully lift the salmon off the skin to serve, leaving the skin on the foil.  Then wrap the whole mess up and toss.

Rice with Almonds and Cumin

Total time: 20 minutes
     Cinnamon, cumin and almonds give this rice a Moroccan flavor.
