ramonaprater@clearchannel.comGrilled Salmon with Teriyaki Shiitake
Ingredients
5 tablespoons sake
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon canola oil
3/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and caps thickly sliced
4 (6 ounce) fillets skinless salmon
1 tablespoon snipped chives
Directions
Preheat the broiler. In a small bowl, whisk the sake with the soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil. In a large nonstick, ovenproof skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the canola oil. Add the shiitake and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned in spots and tender, about 8 minutes. Add all but 1 tablespoon of the sake mixture and cook, stirring, until the skillet is dry and the mushrooms are glazed, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of canola oil. Add the salmon fillets and cook over high heat, turning once, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Spoon off any fat in the skillet. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the reserved 1 tablespoon of the sake mixture and turn the fillets to coat.
Broil the salmon until the top is golden, lightly glazed and just cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer the salmon to plates and top with the mushrooms. Sprinkle with the snipped chives and serve

Easter Potato Biscuits
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup cold water

extra milk for brushing the tops

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter, until pieces of butter are no larger than peas. Use a fork to stir in mashed potatoes, breaking them up into chunks. Make a well in the mixture, and pour in egg, water and milk. Stir into a loose dough using the fork.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 6 or 8 times so the dough holds together. Pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness, and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with a bit of milk.
