Yummy Salmon

2 (5 oz.) Pieces Wild/Sustainably Raised Salmon Filets
1 Tbsp. Dried Basil
1 tsp. Garlic Salt
Ground Pepper
1 tsp. Lemon pepper

1 Tb. Lemon juice

Dry both sides of the salmon, and gently rub on the garlic salt, pepper and dried basil. Heat a sauce pan over medium heat with a bit of oil to avoid sticking, add the salmon filets, and allow them to get crispy on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip the filets, sear for a minute, and add the 1/2 cup of wine to the pan. Cover and cook until just cooked through. This will likely take another 5 minutes, but will vary depending on thickness of your filet. Use your judgement and watch the center of the fish. Remove.

Amazing BBQ Chicken Pizza

So I came across this amazing recipe from Just cook already blog spot.  It was so good, quick and super easy! It's a MUST make. =) Enjoy

from start to finish, this pizza took me 25 minutes to make [including baking time]. i am here to share my secret with you.

did you know that you can buy raw dough from most grocery stores? because you can. just ask at the bakery – it is the dough they use for french bread. i hear it also makes great scones, and obviously pizza – which i know from experience.

so here is what you will need:
olive oil
pizza dough
bbq sauce
chicken
mozzarella cheese
red onion
cilantro

after spreading olive oil onto a baking sheet or pizza stone, stretch and spread your dough out until it is pretty thin. spread bbq sauce on top of your dough, then add shredded or sliced chicken. [i just used a rotisserie chicken from the store - genius and time-saving]. sprinkle on generous amounts of mozzarella cheese and how ever many sliced red onions you prefer. bake at 400 for 12-14 minutes. sprinkle chopped cilantro atop before eating… if you are into that sort of thing. and i am.
