Maple Mustard Seared Salmon

Quick no recipe recipes are my favorite for nights when I get home starving and just want to sit down to a nice hot meal. Tonight I decided on salmon and grabbed some whole grain mustard, maple syrup and orange marmalade. In about 15 minutes my dinner was on my plate and ready to be eaten. The sweetness of the maple syrup and tang of the mustard pair deliciously with the seared salmon. I paired the fish with my savory rosemary mashed sweet potatoes and had a delicious and filling meal.

Old Bay Bourbon Shrimp and Corn Chowder

When I'm stuck inside thanks to a cold, snowy and rainy day, a nice bowl a hot soup is a welcome meal. Having a few ears of corn and a bag of potatoes on hand I knew I'd be making a chowder. I pulled some shrimp out of the freezer and set out on my culinary adventure for lunch. I did not have any bacon so I opted for smoked paprika to add a little smokiness to the soup. Instead of sherry I opted for bourbon and being form Baltimore, Old Bay is a must.
