Embarrasingly easy, but my fam loves it.

4 appetizer sized baby salmon filets (4 oz. each)
4 spoons sugar
salt and pepper

Wash and dry salmon very well.
Grease a 7x10 deep aluminum pan. Grease.
Arrange salmon in pan.
Sprinkle a spoon of sugar slowly over each separate piece of salmon.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Allow salmon to sit for 30 minutes until sugar has melted and and the taste has been absorbed.
Bake uncovered, in oven preheated to 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Then turn oven to broil, and bake another 10 minutes.

Sure! I love this recipe and use it in all sorts of things. It's great over salads, everything. I got it from a website online and sort of tweak it according to what I'm cooking.

* 1/4 cup mayonnaise
* 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
* 1 tablespoon honey
* 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

Today for instance, since it was over the chicken I omitted the lemon juice and used a lot more mustard and honey. I added minced fresh garlic to the mixture (just whisk it in a bowl) and then poured it over the chicken and drizzled a little around the potatoes. Today's mixture contained almost equal amounts of mayo, mustard and honey.

Thank you! Amein!

I start out covered, then uncovered it. You can also reserve some of the sauce, poke the chicken and pour over it again when it's almost finished. I also still salt the potatoes.

P.S. I recommend taste-testing the sauce mixture so you can add anything to it (if it's too mustardy, too honey-y etc), before pouring over the stuff.

That does sound great Tehilla! I'm always looking for simple main dishes because I get home so late. I'm not cooking this shabbos, I'll try it next week!

What is popped rice/popped rice salad?

Popped Rice is basically frying the rice till it pops. You take regular white rice, heat oil in a pan till hot, and fry the rice. You can tell it is ready when it gets white and sort of pops. It kind of looks like rice crispies. It takes very quickly and you need to stir it the whole time and make sure it doesn't burn.

The salad is as follows:

Iceberg lettuce
Cucumbers
Purple onion
Avo
Popped Rice

Dressing:
1/2 Cup Mayo
1/2 Cup Oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tsp Salt
4 TB Sugar

It's delicious and yummy with a nice crunch.
Enjoy.
