Aliza’s Garlic–Honey Salmon

My daughter Aliza absolutely loves this salmon! And now that she’s 11, she’s actually old enough to make it by herself. That’s how simple this recipe is. A few ingredients, a quick drizzle and sprinkle, and it’s in the oven. No stress, no mess, just a perfect Shabbat fish every time.

A whole side of salmon serves 10-12.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole side of salmon or salmon slices for a smaller group
• 1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. olive oil
• ½ lemon, squeezed (reserve the other half for serving)
• 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
• 2 or 3 Tbsp. honey, drizzled

Directions: 

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking pan with baking paper, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface. Place the salmon on the prepared pan, squeeze half a lemon over the top, sprinkle with garlic powder, and drizzle 2 or 3 tablespoons of honey. Add a final drizzle of 1 teaspoon olive oil.

Bake uncovered for 15-18 minutes for a whole side or 12 minutes if using salmon slices. Before serving, slice the reserved half lemon and serve alongside or squeeze lightly over the fish.

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Crispy Potato Wedges

 Crispy Potato Wedges

By Henny Shor, Jerusalem Post, November 29, 2025

I made these last Friday night, and although I prepped a lot of food, these wedges disappeared almost instantly – they’re that good. What I love most about this recipe is that you don’t need to peel the potatoes, which is exactly what makes this recipe so a-peel-ing (sorry, I had to). A quick cut, a drizzle, a sprinkle, and into the oven they go.

Yields 6 Servings.

Ingredients:

• 6 to 8 potatoes, cut into wedges
• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. ground black pepper
• 2 tsp. dried parsley flakes

Directions: 

Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F). Line a large baking sheet with baking paper and drizzle a little olive oil over the surface. Arrange the potato wedges on the pan in a single layer so they aren’t overcrowded. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and parsley, then drizzle with the remaining olive oil. 

Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes, until crisp, golden, and soft inside.

Enjoy!

December Seasonal Open Thread

 

  

It's that time again to binge on movie trilogies or watch something new during the holiday season.  Create something new. We are onto the last two weeks of fall as trees stretch their barren arms and fingers to the sky.  A hush hovers over the land.  

As we gather near loved ones once again to

keep the cheer and love with the season

                                        

                     Coffee is plentiful.As winter is coming, best to start mornings right with coffee.  

                            Even Yeti knows as they indeed drink coffee!

Lights up and down the street, they wrap the home
in warmth and cheer. Take a walk to enjoy the solitude and splendor of the season.

Coca Cola Polar Bears with a smile.

                             Hot chocolate with a loved one to close the day
                 while it snows, and snows outside. Let it snow
                          and snuggle  closer.

Or a gingerbread latte is above and beyond

A phenomenon whycats like trees and
shiny breakables.  Perhaps
they think, "Ah they brought in nature for me!"

 Take the time to take in the solitude,  read a
new book, or drink hot tea to close the day

Reminders of winter and angels all around from their tiny

messengers

Remember times gone by they come around
again with sounds of the season reminding us

to be giddy like children. Embrace that to heart.  

And sing songs we remember.
