Salmon Bread



Salmon Bread Dough Recipe http://fiberfervor.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/crawfish-bread/
Thanks


.
In a large mixer bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, thyme, oregano, basil, onion and garlic powders and peppers. Gradually add the warm water and oil to the dry ingredients, then beat for 2 minutes at medium speed, stopping to scrape the bowl occasionally. Beat for 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Knead dough on a floured surface until it’s smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to oil the top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in volume, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Punch the dough down. Place on a floured surface and roll into a 10×14″ rectangle. Spread the filling on top of dough. With a sharp knife, make cuts from the filling to the dough edges at one-inch intervals along the sides of the filling. Alternating sides, fold the strips at an angle across the filling for a braided effect.

Fried Pacific Cod

FRIED PACIFIC COB FISH

I am in love with this fish called Pacific Cob. "Don't get me wrong" I love all kinds of fish but this one is so awesome. The white mild flavored flesh of cod is available throughout the year and is a wonderful substitute for meat protein with its versatility making it easily adaptable to all methods of cooking.

In the northwest pacific catches a lot of cod by the united states. I call that good eats. Cod belong to the same family (Gadidae) along with both haddock and pollock. It's not surprising that the words "cod" and "cold" are so similar since cod need the cold, deep, Arctic waters to grow, reproduce and survive.

Cob has a good milder cleaner taste than Catfish where Catfish is eating a lot in the southern states and always bought to the table on fish night. But I like the texture of the cob and I am happy trying another kind of fish market.

If you don't like fish and never eating fish..I think you should try Pacific Cob and those who don't like catfish should try Pacific Cob.

3 cups cooking oil

2 lbs fresh cod fish fillets

Lightly Season Cob With...

Red Lobster Cajun Seasoning
Ingredients:

   2 tsp Cayenne Pepper

   1 1/2 tsp Salt

   1 tsp Black Pepper

   1 tsp Paprika

   1 tsp Cumin

   1 1/4 tsp dry Mustard

   1/2 tsp dry Thyme

   1/2 tsp dry Oregano

Combine ingredients well. Place in an airtight container and store in a cool dry place.

All-Purpose Deep Frying Batter
Ingredients

     1 cup all-purpose Flour

     1 tsp Baking Powder

     1/2 cup Cornstarch

     1 cup Water

Directions

Mix all of the ingredients together and blend until there are no lumps. Preheat the oil in your deep fat fryer to the proper temperature for the food you are cooking. Dry the fish with a paper towel and dip into the batter. Place in the hot oil one piece at a time. Try to keep the pieces from colliding until the batter has had a chance to set (which it does almost instantly). Cook until the batter has turned a golden brown, remove to a paper towel to drain and serve at once. Serving size: enough for about 2 pounds of fish.
