Salmon with Mustard Piccata Sauce

It’s been a minute (or, more specifically, a year) since I shared a new salmon recipe, so I knew it had to be something special, like this recipe for Salmon with Mustard Piccata Sauce!

I found the original Salmon with Mustard Piccata Sauce recipe on NYT Cooking but have adapted it slightly for my tastes and what I tend to have in my kitchen. Not only does it taste great, but you can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients (serves 2, multiply as needed):

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb napa cabbage, coarsely chopped
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 (6 to 8 oz) salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons capers
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 cup cooked orzo

Korean Style Beef Tacos

Tacos are one of my go-to’s for a quick weeknight meal. However, there’s only so many nights you can make traditional tacos before you start craving some new flavors. Cooking Light’s Korean Style Beef Tacos sounded like the best of both worlds: a quick meal with new spices. I ended up changing the method of cooking, but the ingredients remained the same. Cooking Light suggested topping the tacos with a Quick Pickled Cabbage as well, so I’ve included that below. This recipe does require you to marinate the beef for an hour, so plan accordingly. To make it a quick meal, you could also just marinate the meat overnight.
  Ingredients for the tacos:
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 5 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
  • the juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 12 ounces flank steak, sliced against the grain into thin strips
  • Salt, to taste
  • Cooking spray
  • 8 (6-inch) tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons sliced green onions
  Ingredients for the cabbage:
  • 1 head of napa cabbage, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chile paste
