Classic French Mussels
This is a very straight-forward classic French method for serving mussels. It takes about 25 minutes to prep and cook the mussels and this amount serves two.
When cleaning and de-bearding the mussels, inspect each one, if a mussel is partly open give it a tap or a gentle squeeze and watch that the mussel closes its shell - the mussel does not need to snap shut but it should close, if the mussel does not close then discard it. Similarly, discard any mussels that have not opened during the cooking process.
The 'beards' are the wiry filaments that may protrude from a mussel shell, they take a little effort to pull out but do so - a properly pulled beard has a white tip of a root.
Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio are excellent choices for a dry white wine to cook the mussels in.
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsps. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 shallots, chopped finely
- 4 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
- 2 pounds of mussels, cleaned and de-bearded
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsps. butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 of a bunch parsley, chopped
- Sea salt
Directions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high.
- Add the chopped shallots and garlic, cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes
- Add to the pot the mussels, wine, cream, butter and the parsley and season with sea salt.
- Cook until the mussels open and are cooked right through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Portion the broth between two bowls then divide up the mussels over the broth.
- Serve with a crusty bread such as baguette.

Honey Lime Shrimp
Submitted by: Linda Funk
Ingredients:
1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup olive oil
2 T honey
juice of one small lime
zest of one small lime, or half a large lime
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Directions:
1.) In a large ziploc bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. When everything is well-combined, add the shrimp, squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag, and close it up. Place it in the fridge.
2.) Let the shrimp marinate for 30-60 minutes, flipping the bag around once or twice during that time, so that all the shrimp stay evenly covered in the marinade.
3.) When you’re ready to cook, take the shrimp out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; there is no need to add any oil or butter to the pan, as the marinade has enough oil in it to keep the shrimp from sticking to the pan. (If you would prefer to use the grill for these, you can thread them onto skewers and toss them on the grill at this point.)
4.) Add your shrimp to the pan in a single layer, making sure they are not too crowded; you can always cook them in more than one batch. Let them cook on one side for about a minute, until they curl up and start to turn pink. Flip them over, and cook for another 30 seconds or so, until the shrimp are opaque. Remove from the pan, and serve immediately!

Easy Baked Salmon Dinner
Ingredients:
- 1 large salmon filet
- 1 bag of frozen brussel sprouts
- 1 bunch of thin asparagus
- 2 Tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons of butter
- Garlic salt
- Salt and pepper
- Fish seasoning
Instructions:
- Place the salmon skin side down in the middle of the pan. My trick for cooking brussel sprouts is to buy them frozen the in ready to steam bag. Cook them as directed on the package. Once they are cooked put them on one side of the salmon
- Place the raw asparagus on the other side of the of the salmon
- Drizzle olive oil over both vegetables and sprinkle with garlic salt
- Sprinkle your salmon with salt, pepper, garlic salt, and fish seasoning (my favorite seasoning for my fish is called Jonny's Lemon Dill)
- Cut your butter into small chunks and place it all on top of your salmon
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes (or until salmon is cooked through - check the thickest spot)
Now you have salmon, and two veggies for dinner! So yummy and good for you!

Mediterranean Tuna Melts
I've suggested a higher quality of canned tuna, albacore and tinned in olive oil, rather than water, for the superior flavour. If you can seek out such a product certainly try it, you won't be disappointed! Otherwise, use your favourite tuna.
Ingredients:
- 1 6-ounce can of albacore tuna, packed in olive oil
- 1/4 of a red bell pepper, diced
- Green parts of 2 scallions, diced
- 2 tsps. capers, drained and chopped
- 1 tsp. fresh thyme
- 2-3 tbsps. real mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 2-3 slices baguette or ciabatta bread
- olive oil
- grated cheese of your preference
Directions:
- Turn your oven to broil after setting the rack in the highest position.
- Retain some of the olive oil the tuna has been packed in and scrape both tuna and olive oil into a mixing bowl. Slice and dice 1/4 of a red bell pepper and add to the bowl. Also slice the green part of two scallions and chop up; add them to the bowl as well.
- Roughly chop the capers after draining them, mince the thyme. Add both the capers and thyme to the bowl. Add just enough mayo to bind the mixture, stir after you squeeze in the lemon juice. Throw in a sprinkling of red pepper flakes and make sure the ingredients are well-distributed.
- Slice the baguette or ciabatta and brush the tops with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and broil for 1 minute until toasty and nicely browned. Remove from the oven and turn the slices over with tongs.
- Divide the filling between the slices then top with the grated cheese. Return to the broiler and heat for about 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden-brown and the filling has heated through.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
- 3 salmon filets
- A quantity of green beans, sweet potato & tomatoes (any roasting vegetables will do here, for example, asparagus or broccoli would make great substitutions).
- Olive oil
- Lemon juice, garlic & herb butter
- 3 lemons, thinly sliced
- Sea salt, to taste

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the salmon filets skin-side down in the middle of a 9' x 13' pan.
- Place vegetables to either side of the salmon.
- Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt.
- Put approximately 1 tablespoon each of garlic, lemon juice and herb butter on top of each salmon filet then top with the lemon slices.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
Bon appétit!

Lemon Garlic Shrimp

Shrimp are quickly and easily cooked and taste delicious The lemon and garlic in this dish conjure the flavours of the Mediterranean and are very simple to work with and easy to balance. This is an ideal dish when you want to cook healthy, tasty fare in under 10 minutes
Add fresh chopped parsley to this recipe as a variation. Serve as a standalone appetizer or accompany with rice, pasta or a salad for excellent results.
There's no special technique to removing the shells from shrimp, grab the legs of the shrimp and pull away from the meat, finishing by pulling the entire shell away from the tail carefully to preserve the meat there. The shells of shrimp have most of their flavour so you might want to hang on to them (reserve them in a bag you can refrigerate) so as to make a great seafood stock for other recipes.
The term "deveining" refers to removing the digestive tract of the shrimp. This tract runs along its back. Place the shrimp, one-by-one, on their side on a cutting board, use a chef's knife and cut an 1/8 of an inch down the middle of the shrimp's back, from tail to head. Then push down with the knife to anchor the "vein" and pull the shrimp away. The vein will be left on the cutting board.
Ingredients:
- 6 tbsp. butter
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds large shrimp
- 4 to 6 cloves of garlic
- 2 to 3 tbsps. lemon juice
- salt to taste
