Paprika Mustard Salmon

Sydney Willcox; Serves 4

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

3 tbsp whole grain or Dijon mustard, or a combination

1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup

2 tsp Worcestershire

1 - 1 ½ tsp Spanish pimenton or smoked paprika

½ tsp garlic powder

Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne

4 (6oz) salmon filets

For serving: Chopped Parsley or Chive, Lemon Wedges

1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Prepare a baking dish just large enough to hold fish closely in a single layer. Spread 1 layer of oil in baking dish and place salmon in dish.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine mustard with olive oil, sugar, Worcestershire, and spices; season with salt and pepper to taste, add a sprinlke of cayenne if deisred. Add mustard glaze to salmon and turn to coat evenly on all sides.

3. Transfer the baking dish to the oven and cook for about 9 - 14 minutes depending on thickness, until the salmon is cooked through to 140 degrees F (it will continue to increase a few degress through carryover cooking). Salmon should be opaque inside and flaking apart easily. Remove from the oven and serve with herbs and lemon wedges.

Creamy Corn Pasta

Sydney Willcox; Serves 4

1 lb medium size pasta, such as shells, orecchiette, or cavatelli

Kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper, red pepper flakes

4 cups fresh corn kernels, divided

¼ cup chicken, vegetable, or corn stock optional

¼ lb thick cut bacon, diced

2 shallots or 1 sweet onion, small dice

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 tbsp dry white wine

1 - 3 tbsp creme fraiche or sour cream, or cream

1 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed optional

1 bunch basil leaves or chives, sliced

Sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan or pecorino cheese

1. To cook pasta, fill a large pot with water and season generously with salt; place over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Add pasta and stir; return to a simmer. Cook pasta according to package instructions, until just al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water. Drain pasta in colander and let sit, tossing every few minutes to prevent sticking.

2. Using an electric blender, puree 3 cups corn kernels (reserve remaining 1 cup) with stock and 2 tbsp pasta water (or use 6 tbsp pasta water if skipping stock).

3. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the bacon is brown and crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Carefully discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat from the pan.

4. Return pan to medium heat and add shallots and reserved corn kernels; season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sauté gently until lightly golden brown, tossing occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir continuously for 30 seconds. Pour in white wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape brown bits off bottom of pan.

5. When nearly all the wine evaporates, stir in blended corn. Bring to a simmer and cook until flavors are married and sauce is thickened; stir often to prevent sticking. Stir in 1 – 2 tbsp crème fraiche or cream until desired richness is achieved.

6. Add pasta and return all but a small handful of bacon (save some for garnish). Cook until just heated through, adjusting consistency with more pasta water, cream, or crème fraiche as desired. Remove from heat and stir in all but a handful of herbs (save some for garnish). For optional added richness, add butter and stir gently until melted. Transfer to serving plates and garnish with cheese and bacon.
