Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

Chimichurri

2 cloves garlic
1 shallot
1 bunch curly parsley
1 bunch fresh cilantro
4 sprigs fresh dill, or more to taste
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 lime, zested
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salmon

8 (3 ounce) salmon filets
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

For chimichurri, add garlic and shallot to the bowl of a food processor and pulse 2 or 3 times. Add herbs, lime juice, and vinegar. Blend until finely chopped.
With the food processor still running, slowly drizzle in olive oil to emulsify. Add lime zest, salt, and pepper to taste and blend until smooth. Stir in red pepper flakes. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare an outdoor grill for direct cooking over high heat, 450 to 550 degrees F (230 to 290 degrees C).
Generously coat the flesh side of the salmon fillets with oil and season evenly with granulated garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Grill the salmon, skin side down, over direct high heat for 6 to 8 minutes.
Turn the salmon over, close the lid, and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 6 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter to rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Slide the salmon skin from the fillets and serve with chimichurri.

Instant Pot Short Ribs

It's easy to love fall-off-the-bone short ribs. The only problem with a traditional braising recipe is that it will be hours before eating happens. Make short ribs in an electric pressure cooker and eat these in half the time. The pressure inside the cooker transforms any liquid into hot steam, which goes deep into the meat and produce far more tender ribs than any other method would make. Less time and better? You bet.

Fig, Prosciutto, and Goat Cheese Pinwheels

For these fig, prosciutto, and goat cheese pinwheels, a puff pastry sheet is layered with goodies, then rolled up like a jelly roll, and sliced. Baked to crispy, chewy, fruity, sweet, and herby perfection, these are hard to resist.

This smoky, sweet, spicy rub adds amazing flavor and color to just about any type of steak or pork tenderloin – and is great for grilling and pan-searing. To save time, make the rub ahead of time and store in an airtight container until ready to use. This recipe was made in a Panasonic CIO and appears on an episode of the Dinner Spinner TV Show on The CW!

My Favorite Pork Turkey Meatloaf

This soft-textured meatloaf is speckled with vegetables. My kids and I love the flavor of this dish. There's always enough for sandwiches the next day and crumbled into spaghetti sauce the day after that.

Best Breakfast Casserole (Hash Browns & Eggs)

This breakfast casserole with hash browns is my family's recipe that has been handed down through the years. We've always used the maple-flavored pork sausage but any kind is good. This casserole is a nice and cozy breakfast or brunch meal that everyone will enjoy. It's got the perfect taste with lots of cheese. Yum! Be sure to use a baking dish that is deep enough to cover with aluminum foil.
