Anchovies or no anchovies?

Anchovies are a very small saltwater fish that are used in a lot of Scandinavian and Mediterrane cooking. They have a very salty taste. While I do like anchovies in my Cesar salads, I did not use them in this Bourbon Glazed Salmon Cesar Salad mainly because I didn’t want them to overpower the salmon or fight with the flavor of the salmon. But I did use a little bit of Worchestershire sauce in the salad dressing. And you might not know that anchovies are the umami ingredient in Worchestershire sauce.

Homemade Croutons!

Homemade croutons are so easy and so delicious, I seriously don’t know why anyone buys them. I like to use a few slices of either Italian bread or Ciabatta bread. I cut the bread into small squares and toss them into a ziptop bag. I drizzle in a little olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Shake the bag so all of the bread pieces are coated. Place them on a small cookie sheet and put them into a 375° preheated oven. I cooked them for about 15 minutes, watching them closely so they don’t burn. That’s it! That easy and now you never have to buy croutons again.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

Here are a few tips for making this Bourbon Glazed Salmon Cesar Salad:

  1. When you buy salmon, make sure that you select pieces that are similar in size so that the salmon cooks evenly at the same time. Just ask the fishmonger at your market to give you two or four or however many you are buying that are the same size.
  2. I get perfect hardboiled eggs every time I cook eggs…and I cook them every week. I cook up to 8 at a time in my Instant Pot. Click HERE for my Perfectly Cooked Hard Boiled Eggs.
  3. When you make this salad dressing, make a double batch…it’s that good and you will want to use it on everything. It easily stores in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. By the way, it’s delicious drizzled on hardboiled eggs for breakfast.
