Kasha Crusted Salmon – As Easy as 1 2 3!

March 4, 2018 By Jittery Cook 7 Comments

The pressure to post Jittery Cook recipes weekly has evaporated. As the song goes, time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future. With less drive towards timeliness comes the opportunity to share just gems.

Many thanks to Debby Becker Newpol for this very clever, easy as 123 jewel of a recipe.

kasha crusted salmon with black rice, roasted asparagus and peppers

Kasha Crusted Salmon

  • 1.5 lb salmon filet (24 ounces)
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 T Dijon mustard (or more for stronger flavour)
  • 1/3 c medium coarse uncooked kasha
  • lemon wedges, as garnish

Kasha Crusted Salmon

Preheat oven to 400F.

Lay salmon on a baking pan covered with parchment paper. Blot salmon with paper towel. Brush Dijon mustard over the top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use a small measuring cup to slowly sprinkle kasha evenly over the salmon in one layer, covering all the Dijon mustard. Bake for 10 minutes. Serve garnished with lemon wedges. Serves 6. Kasha Crusted Salmon doesn’t need more embellishment but it’s amazing served hot or cold with Sauce Verte.

Kasha Crusted Salmon

Sauce Verte 

  • 1 1/2 c Greek yogurt
  • 3 scallions, sliced
  • 1 c parsley leaves
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice 
  • 1 T capers
  • 1-2 T mayonnaise
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Chop all the greens until finely minced in a food processor or by hand. Yogurt, lemon, mayonnaise and seasonings are blended into the greens.

Final notes:

  • Did you know that kasha is buckwheat?
  • Did you know that kasha is gluten free?
  • Speaking of time slipping, here’s a little throwback music to cook by….with the lyrics so you can sing along.

 

 

“ABC”
Jackson 5

You went to school to learn girl
Things you never, never knew before
Like “I” before “E” except after “C”
And why 2 plus 2 makes 4
Now, now, now
I’m gonna teach you
(Teach you, teach you)
All about love girl
(All about love)
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me
A B C
It’s easy as, 1 2 3
As simple as, do re mi
A B C, 1 2 3
Baby, you and me girl
A B C
It’s easy as, 1 2 3
As simple as, do re mi
A B C, 1 2 3
Baby, you and me girl
Come on and love me just a little bit
Come on and love me just a little bit
I’m gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on
Let me show you what it’s all about
Reading, writing, arithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree
But listen without the roots of love everyday girl
Your education ain’t complete
Tea-Tea-Teacher’s gonna show you
(She’s gonna show you)
How to get an “A” (na-na-na-naaaaaa)
How to spell “me”, “you”, add the two
Listen to me, baby
That’s all you got to do

Oh, A B C
It’s easy as, 1 2 3
As simple as, do re mi
A B C, 1 2 3
Baby, you and me girl
A B C it’s easy,
It’s like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That’s how easy love can be
That’s how easy love can be
Sing a simple melody
1 2 3
You and me

Sit down girl,
I think I love ya’
No, get up girl
Show me what you can do
Shake it, shake it baby, come on now
Shake it, shake it baby, oooh, oooh
Shake it, shake it baby, yeah
1 2 3 baby, oooh oooh
A B C baby, ah, ah
Do re mi baby, wow
That’s how easy love can be
A B C it’s easy
It’s like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That’s how easy love can be
I’m gonna teach you
How to sing it out
Come-a, come-a, come-a
Let me show you what’s it’s all about
A B C it’s easy
It’s like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That’s how easy love can be

I’m gonna teach you
How to sing it out
Sing it out, sing it out
Sing it, sing it
A B C it’s easy
It’s like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That’s how easy love can be

Fly Like an Eagle
Steve Miller Band
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
I wanna fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
‘Till I’m free
Oh, Lord, through the revolution
Feed the babies
Who don’t have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin’ in the street
Oh, oh, there’s a solution
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
‘Till I’m free
Fly through the revolution
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
‘Till I’m free
Fly through the revolution
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future

    This is a keeper for me. I love kasha and make it all the time for my grand daughters. I’m such a Bubby. I’m sure they will like it crusted on their salmon too!

      Just so you know, you can vary the taste a great deal by using more or less salt, pepper and Dijon mustard. Also it can be baked for 20 minutes at 350F instead of 10 minutes at 400F. First time I tried it was with whole grain kasha. I prefer the medium coarse. Hope the grand daughters enjoy Mindy!

    Made a similar version but with sesame seeds. The emerald sauce was delicious. Thanks for the menu idea!

      Would be delicious with sesame seeds! Love the emerald sauce – or sauce verte. The black rice is fantastic and lasts several days in the fridge. The whole meal was perfect!
