A Breath of Fresh Air and Parmesan Crusted Salmon

I absolutely love this home featured in House Beautiful magazine. Jill Brinson is a designer and this is her home in Atlanta.

Enjoy and then go try this yummy salmon recipe. It is so tasty! Can you just picture yourself cooking in that gorgeous kitchen?! And the backyard....love it.





Parmesan Crusted Salmon


Makes 4 servings

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dill weed
1 cup white wine
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 pounds salmon steaks

In a shallow, medium bowl mix Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoned bread crumbs, tarragon and dill.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, blend white wine, teriyaki sauce, butter, red onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onions are tender.

Press one side of each salmon steak into the Parmesan cheese mixture. (I breaded both sides.) Place steaks crust side up in saucepan with white wine mixture.
Cook over medium high heat until most of the liquid is reduced, 10 to 15 minutes***, then flip with a spatula. Continue cooking until crust is golden brown and fish is easily flaked with a fork.
***I always end up burning mine, so I pan-fry it for a few minutes on each side and then bake it in a 375F oven til done, maybe 10 minutes or so.
