Baked Garlic Salmon

6 - 8 salmon steaks
Juice of 3 lemons
6 - 8 cloves garlic, minced
One quarter cup olive oil
One half cup white wine, optional
One quarter cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, white wine, and parsley
together. Place salmon steaks in a lightly greased baking dish
and pour mixture over salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and
bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes or until fish is flaky.

The Skinny: Not much room for improvement here.

Oriental Wild Rice Pilaf

1 onion, chopped
1 cup Chinese cabbage, shredded
1 cup wild rice

Heat oil in a large saucepan and saute onion and cabbage for 5

Walnut Fudge

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 14-ounce can evaporated milk
4 cups sugar
One quarter cup butter
Pinch of salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped

together in a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and cook for
1 minute stirring constantly. Add vanilla and nuts and beat

sugar substitute.
