Baby Brixton

Wow! It has been forever since I have posted anything!

Yesterday I had the privilege to do my first baby/child photo shoot! Mind you, I have NO background or knowledge in photography...I just enjoy acting like I do. Haha! Also, when it comes to editting, I know very little, but I'm learning! Here are a few...I think we ended up taking about 350.

This is baby Brixton, my boss' little boy. He has the sweetest disposition and smiles best when his momma and daddy tell him "shoooey, Brixton, you stink"

Herb Crusted Salmon with Lemon Beurre Blanc

Our favorite way to eat salmon....

4 salmon filets
salt
pepper
1 T dijon
1/2 t shallots, minced
1/4 t garlic chopped
1 t fresh dill, minced
1 t fresh chives, minced
1 t fresh parsley, minced
2/3 C Panko bread crumbs (or crushed Ritz crackers w/ Italian seasoning mixed in)

Lemon Beurre Blanc

3 oz. Butter
1/2 t shallots, minced
1/4 t garlic, minced
1 t lemon zest
3-4 oz. dry white wine
freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 C cream
salt
pepper

*zucchini, carrots, squash, red pepper and onions are good to have on hand as well

1-Combine shallots, garlic, herbs and bread crumbs. Season with S & P, mix and reserve.

2- Preheat oven to 375.

3-Season salmon with S & P, brush generously with dijon and press into bread crumb mixture.

4- Transfer to baking sheet/dish. Bake 15-20 minutes.

5-Melt butter in sauce pan over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, and lemon zest. Saute briefly, but do not brown.

6-Deglaze with white wine. Bring to simmer and reduce liquid by 1/2. Add lemon juice, continue to simmer and reduce again by 1/2.

7-Add cream, reduce until sauce thickens.

8-Season with S & P, keep warm until ready to serve.

*We always like to saute or steam some veggies to go along with it, and of course, a garlic butter biscuit. Mmm, my mouth is watering just talking about it!
