Broiled Salmon

So this isn't seafood because well my husband hates it and so I never cook it, I do thaw shrimp and dip it in cocktail sauce but that is a no recipe needed kind of food. Anyway, on to my broiled salmon:

Fresh Salmon (from the grocery store)--take a non seraded (for the life of my I can't spell it) knife to take the scales off, I lay it on a cutting board in the sink and use the knife against the scales. If that makes any sense.

butter
lemon pepper seasoning

brush the butter over the salmon and then sprinkle with the lemon pepper. broil until golden brown. Mmmm I use to eat this every birthday along with Fettucine Alfredo, its great because calories don't count on your birthday!! :)

Clam Chowder on a cold day, Yum!

This is creamy and delicious. If I don't have enough cream, I substitute with milk.

Clam Chowder

2 8-ounce bottles clam juice
3 cans chopped clams
2-3 large baking potatoes, peeled and well chopped
½ cup butter
1 large onion, minced
¾ cup flour
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ½ cups milk
salt & pepper

Sauté onion in butter in a large pot. When onion is browning, add flour and cook 2-4 minutes.
Add clams and juice to the pot and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, boil potatoes until just tender.
Add cooked potatoes to the clam pot when it is boiling.
Reduce to simmer and add milk and cream. Season to your liking with salt and pepper.
Serve hot with bread or crackers.
