Salmon with Curry Mayonnaise

INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds of salmon, skin on, bones removed
2 Tablespoons of butter
1 Clove of mashed garlic
¼ Teaspoon of salt
Some freshly ground pepper
¾ Cup of mayonnaise

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the flesh is firm to the touch at the thickest point. The salmon can also be cooked on the barbecue over medium-high heat, on foil.
• While the fish is cooking, combine mayonnaise and curry powder. Place in a small serving dish.
• When the salmon is cooked, cut into serving pieces and pass the sauce at the table.
• Voila! Dinner is served.

Lamb Fajitas

INGREDIENTS FOR LAMB:
1 Pound boneless leg of lamb trimmed of all fat
1 Tablespoon of hoisin sauce
2 Teaspoons dark soy sauce
2 Tablespoons and 2 teaspoons of cooking oil
1 Red bell pepper
3 Green onions

INGREDIENTS FOR SAUCE:
4 Cloves of garlic
1 Tablespoon of dry sherry
1 Tablespoon of dark soy sauce
1 Tablespoon of oriental sesame oil
2 Teaspoon of red wine vinegar
1 Teaspoon of Chinese chili sauce
¼ Teaspoon of sugar
¼ Teaspoon of salt

METHOD:
• Cut the lamb into 1/8-inch slices, then cut the slices into very thin slivers. Place the meat in a bowl and mix in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons of the cooking oil.
• Stem, seed, and cut the pepper into 1-inch-long slivers. Cut the green onions into the same length slivers.
• Mince the garlic and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and mix well.
• Place the salsa and guacamole in decorative bowls.
• Wrap the tortillas in foil and heat for 8 minutes in a 350 degree F oven.
• Combine the corn starch with an equal amount of cold water, and set aside.
• Place a wok over highest heat … when the wok is very hot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and the garlic. Tilt the wok to coat the sides with the oil.
• When the garlic just begins to turn white, in about 15 seconds, add the lamb. Stir-fry until the lamb just loses its raw outside colour, about 1 minute.
• Next, stir in the red pepper and green onions. Pour in the sauce. When the sauce comes to a low boil, stir in a little of the cornstarch mixture so the sauce glazes the lamb. Taste and adjust the seasonings, then spoon onto a heated platter or individual plates.
• Serve with the salsa, guacamole, and hot flour tortillas! Great for the whole family!
• Alternative to tortillas: serve on rice or substitute the lamb for chicken
