Dinner in a Pyrex


So it goes without saying, that as a working mother my free time is pretty limited.  When it comes to making dinner I'm all about easy, versatile, and delicious dishes.  This recipe is all that.  I saw this idea in Southern Living Magazine, and knew immediately i had to try it out.  It is a simple preparation in a single pyrex.  First I layered the bulgar, then the asparagus, and topped it off with fresh salmon and lemon wedges.  I then added a bit of chicken stock, popped it in the oven, and viola!  Since mastering (you will be a master after your first attempt, guaranteed) this technique i have created several of my own creations such as: blackened chicken with jasmin rice and brussel sprouts; halibut with white rice and roasted parsnips and carrots.  The possibilities are endless.



Ingredients
1 cup bulgur
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
One bunch asparagus
Salmon filet(s)
Lemon slices
Salt
Pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Season salmon with salt and pepper.

In a pyrex layer the following ingredients: bulgur, chicken broth, asparagus, salmon filet(s), and lemon slices.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 35 minutes or until salmon is cooked through.

  3. Can I use brown rice instead of Bulgur? If so, would I cook it the same way?!
