Groundhog Day 2021
Groundhog Day is a part of popular culture among many Americans and it centers on the idea of the groundhog coming out of its home to “predict” the weather. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day sees its shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks; but if it does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early.

One Pan Creamy Garlic Salmon
Ingredients:
Salmon filets
2 tsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. ghee
5 cloves garlic
1 small yellow or white onion, diced
1/3 c. vegetable broth
5 oz. jarred sun-dried tomato drained of oil
1 3/4 c. coconut milk
Salt and pepper - to taste
3 cups of baby spinach leaves
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp. dried oregano
Directions
- To make the creamy garlic salmon recipe: Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon filets on both sides with sea salt and pepper, and sear in the hot pan, flesh-side down first, for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking ( I like it to still be pink in the middle, trust me). Once the salmon filets are cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt the ghee in the remaining pan juices. Add in the garlic and fry until fragrant (about one minute, do not allow to brown, garlic gets bitter quickly). Add the oregano and the onion and stir fry until translucent. Chop and add the sun-dried tomatoes and fry for 1-2 minutes so they release their flavors. Finally, pour in the vegetable broth, and allow the sauce to reduce down slightly. About 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, add the coconut milk, and bring to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally. Season the sauce with sea salt and pepper to your taste.
- Add in the baby spinach and allow to wilt in the sauce, and add in the parmesan cheese. Allow cream sauce to simmer for further stirring frequently until cheese melts through.
- Add the grilled salmon filets back into the pan; sprinkle with the parsley, and spoon the sauce over each filet. Serve the creamy garlic salmon over steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice.
