Eli's asian salmon : page 118

This is a very easy recipe for salmon,the hardest part is gathering the ingredients if you don't have them on hand. A good balance of fresh and clean flavors with the fatty salmon. It is a good recipe for a party or a buffet because it can be served at room temperature.

Roasted shrimp with Orzo : page 74

This recipe is good as a main course or as side for a party. If you leave out the shrimp it is a good salad for grilled meats in the summer. Very easy to prepare
