Miso Glazed Salmon Burgers

Miso Glazed Salmon Burgers by Alison's AllspiceIf you love to make glazed salmon, then you will love these miso glazed salmon burgers.  The glaze could easily be used on salmon fillets, but sometimes I am just craving a burger.  These burgers are juicy and full of umami.

Topping these burgers with lettuce and tomato just would not do for me. I chose to top my burgers with cucumber slices and alfalfa sprouts. Continue reading

Smoky Trout Tacos with Lemon Garlic Aioli

Smoky Trout Tacos with Lemon Garlic Aioli by Alison's AllspiceI don’t think there is such a thing as a perfect fish taco.  It can’t be because there are just so many good ways to do it, no one recipe could ever be the best.  Nevertheless, I am always in the pursuit of perfecting recipes and fish tacos are easily a food group in my house, so here is another variation for you to try: smoky trout tacos with lemon garlic aioli.

Can we talk about aioli for a minute, please?  Does anyone actually use eggs to make their aioli?  Maybe I’m the only one that is totally hooked on the ease of using mayo, but what can I say?  It’s delicious, easy to make, and I don’t have to fuss with raw eggs.  Win-win in my book.

Easy Garlic Roasted Salmon

Easy Garlic Roasted Salmon by Alison's AllspiceThis easy garlic roasted salmon recipe is so simple, and yet is my favorite way to make salmon.  It really lets the flavor of a quality salmon shine instead of overpowering it with seasonings and glazes.

That being said, you can mix it up by stirring in additional toppings.  Try ¼ tsp red pepper flake for a spicy version.  Try 1 tsp fresh minced rosemary for an herbed version. Mix in 1 tsp honey for a sweetened version. Continue reading

Strawberry Habanero Glazed Salmon Burgers

Strawberry Habanero Glazed Salmon Burgers by Alison's AllspiceThis salmon burger is good all on its own, but to make a great salmon burger, you need some sauce to lock in a little moisture.  I went with a classic sweet-heat glaze on these strawberry habanero glazed salmon burgers!

Fire Up Jellies and Jams have numerous great products in their line, but I know I wanted to use their Strawberry Habanero Jelly to glaze these burgers.  It has the best sweet heat flavor that works universally with many ingredients, such as the fishy flavor of salmon. Continue reading

Imitation Crab Sushi Bowls

Imitation Crab Sushi Bowls by Alison's AllspiceThe first time I tried to make sushi with short grained brown rice, the rolls completely fell apart.  I ended up eating the recipe as a sushi bowl, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it, so I developed this imitation crab sushi bowls recipe.

I really love sushi rolls, and I do make them at home.  You can see an oooold sushi recipe post here.  One of the first on the blog, I had so much to learn back then! Continue reading

Smoked Trout Melts

Smoked Trout Melts by Alison's AllspiceCalling all trout fishermen and fisherwomen!  I have taken the classic tuna melt, and transformed it into a trout fishermans dreams, smoked trout melts.  It is ultra creamy, while still slightly smokey and sweet, and it’s ready for dinner in only 15 minutes!

I love to spend a whole day pulling out the smoker and loading it with trout and my homemade smoked tofu recipe, along with whatever else suits my fancy.  Smoked trout is a true delicacy, and I always make enough for plenty of leftovers! Continue reading

Salmon and Potato Au Gratin

Salmon and Potato Au Gratin by Alison's Allspice My husband and I celebrated our first dating anniversary (many moons ago) at this little Scandinavian café at a vineyard that had a limited menu.  We both adore fish and tried the fish au gratin and fell in love with the dish!  Today I make salmon and potato au gratin at home for special occasions.

Au gratin is a special occasion dish as it is very rich, loaded with milk and cheese.  It is perfect for indulgent meals that you want to celebrate, including the holidays!  I have made it with both 2% milk and whole milk, and both work, but the whole milk is just a bit richer. Continue reading

Baked Imitation Crab Chimichangas

Baked Imitation Crab Chimichangas by Alison's AllspiceMy favorite local Tex-Mex restaurant has the most delicious seafood chimichangas that inspired me to make my own healthier version at home.  My baked imitation crab chimichangas are just as rich a creamy as well as easy on the wallet.

I tried many times to make seafood chimichangas with real shirmp and scallops.  Somehow I just could never nail the flavor.  When I tried them with imitation crab, I made a few more changes that also made them a tad healthier, and we love them! Continue reading

Feta and Dill Crusted Trout

Feta and Dill Crusted Trout by Alison's AllspiceIn the recent months I have been cleaning out the freezer.  Therefore, I have been eating a lot of trout, and loving every bite!  I adapted this feta and dill crusted trout recipe from another favorite trout recipe, Dijon crusted trout.

Adding a crunchy topping to fish makes it feel like something else entirely.  I guess thats why fish sticks were/are so common.  If you don’t care for the texture of fish, try it topped with panko and seasonings! Continue reading
