NEXT RECIPE:  FISH AND CHIPS

BROILED SALMON STEAKS 
3 salmon steaks (about 1/2 lb each)
lemon juice
Ritz crackers, crumbled
garlic and onion powder
3 pats butter (1 tablespoon each)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced

Spray a shallow sided aluminum baking pan with olive oil spray. Place fish steaks on pan. Sprinkle evenly with garlic and onion powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper.

In a microwaveable dish, melt butter; toss crushed crackers in butter. Sprinkle the cracker mixture evenly over the top of the fish. Sprinkle with minced parsley.

Broil (on the top rack), without turning, until the edges of the fish are browned and the flesh is a whitish pink (no longer clear) and it starts to look flaky when touched with a fork. This will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven (or grill) and the size of the fish steak.

Squeeze lemon juice over top before serving garnished with a sprig of fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

A grill may be used instead of a broiler. Heat grill to at least 400°F on a gas grill, or if using briquettes, coals should be white hot.

hmmm. mine caught on fire. The butter enriched crackers ignighted under the broiler. Maybe this would work better in an elctric oven or on the middle rack. It was delicious but inauspicious.

It was quite delicious!! I am always looking for a good salmon recipe and this was not only delicious but easy. And yes, be careful cooking too close to the broiler. My crackers got a little charred but for me, that actually enhanced the taste! Thank you!

Just made this for lunch, and it was delicious! As mentioned above, the bread crumbs with butter charred within the first couple of minutes under the broiler, so I just switched the oven to bake at a high temperature (500°F). I told the others that i've never enjoyed salmon more!

Me and my friend tried this for the first time. The Ritz were practically smoking after 5 minutes. So we tried again. They just wont stop burning!! Trying breadcrumbs and baking instead of broiling. -.-

Fantastic and easy to boot. Some recommendations:

- 4 crackers per tablespoon of butter
- If you have a high and low broil setting, use low, otherwise don't place dish on the top rack, use second from top
- For some extra flavor, add some minced garlic to the butter cracker mixture. Use your judgment as to how much; I used 2 cloves.
