Easy Lobster Ramen recipe

Yes, but i highly recommend using a instant ramen that you love as a base. Everyone has different taste when it comes to ramen, however for this recipe I used a VERY POPULAR KOREAN RAMEN BRAND called Samyang Buldak.

I also used the CREAM CARBONARA ramen which is also one of my favorite types of ramen then I simply added cream butter and garlic to make this dish stand out!

Canned Sardine dip

This simple smoked Canned Sardine dip recipe is something that can be made in no time and can be easily made for a crowd or just for snacking.

Looking for more dip recipes? You defiantly should check out my Garlic Hummus, Avocado Ranch DipJalapeno Peach Salsa or my Black Bean Avocado Dip.

Looking for a different appetizer to serve around the living room table this game day? Simply chill in the fridge right before serving and let the snacking begin. It is so good that it will make even the sardine skeptics asking for the recipe 🙂

HOW TO MAKE SARDINE DIP 

You will need a few simple ingredients, smoked canned sardines, sour cream, cottage cheese or cream cheese or cottage cheese, dill to season and lemon juice.

I like to use sour cream which makes it more smooth and lighter however some people prefer cream cheese so I encourage you to try both for yourself to decide. 

 

I HIGHLY recommending using SMOKED SARDINES as they add a special hint of flavor, paired with lemon juice makes for a memorable dip. It is a Canadian product so I hope you can find it near you! 

Finding a good cracker to serve with this dip is essential I REALLY recommend trying WASA crackers they have several kinds to choose from from whole grain to sourdough rye and are high in fiber and low in sugar and fats. 

I’m aware that this is something not everyone has tried before, because they simply don’t sell this dip pre-made in the stores.

But trust me it is a WINNER! But be sure not to skimp on the lemon as it really ties it all in nicely. 

I am so thrilled you are reading one of my recipes, if you made this recipe i’d love to hear about it! Thank you very much for reading and until next time see ya in the kitchen.

WHAT DOES SEAFOOD BOIL SAUCE TASTE LIKE

It is buttery, garlicy sauce that can be made more sweet than spicy or spicy than sweet with hints of salt and lemon juice for a rounded flavor.

My recipe here has a balance of all these flavors. If you want it more sweet, simply add more brown sugar or more spicy add more Cajun or Cayenne pepper to the sauce during cooking it.

Fresh is best when it comes to this type of fish. I have made this classic recipe, many times in our kitchen.

MAPLE SOY GLAZED SALMON

Cooked to perfection in a cast iron skillet, in under 15 minutes! 

We used some wild BC caught salmon for this dish that we found at our local fish monger.

And boy oh boy, did we enjoy!

This has now become a family favorite and will be made often in this house.

I was given some maple syrup to try recently from a company called Maple Lifestyle.

So I chose their dark maple syrup to highlight the salmon with. And it went beautiful with the salmon, soy, garlic marinade.

You can buy the Dark Maple Syrup that I used right from their website! Or you can find a link to it in the recipe card below, where their bourbon variety is sold on Amazon.

So simple, yet so impressive that you could serve this to a crowd and call it fine dining. 

I like to serve this maple soy glazed salmon over a bed of salad blend. And will make a dressing for the salad.

To make a basic dressing for the salad:

  • You will simply want to add 1/4 cup of olive oil to a small bowl. Then add 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp of maple syrup and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Then mix till blended and pour over your salad and top with the salmon!

Dinner is done!

This can also be served with rice if desired or along side some asparagus or any other type of green vegetables you like.
