Menu Plan for this week

Ok, this is a loose plan since I'm not sure exactly WHEN we'll be eating the dishes, just WHAT we'll be eating this week. Recipes for Salmon and Sauerbraten posted below. Check out I'm an Organizing Junkie (http://orgjunkie.com/2008/02/menu-plan-monday-feb-18th.html ) for more Menu Ideas!

Tonight (Monday) was Miso-Glazed Salmon - Hubby and I love this!

For the rest of the week:
Polenta with Shrimp (Not sure how I'll fix the shrimp yet, we'll play it by ear)
Sauerbraten (using an already cooked piece of beef in the freezer)
Roasted Herb Pork Lion (This will be soon since it's thawing in the fridge as I type)
Chicken Breasts (I'll decide how on the day of)
Split Pea Soup (This will be later on in the week so I can give some to my mom when she comes this weekend so we can go to a Herb Society Meeting on Saturday together- and some will go to FIL and MIL too. Yes, I'll be making a lot.)

Miso-Glazed Salmon

A sweet-salty miso, brown sugar, and soy sauce glaze caramelizes in about 10 minutes as it cooks atop this rich, meaty salmon.

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons hot water
2 tablespoons miso (soybean paste)
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Preheat broiler.

Combine first 4 ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Arrange fish in a shallow baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon miso mixture evenly over fish.

Broil 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting twice with miso mixture. Sprinkle with chives.
