Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.


Simple seared salmon is served with sauteed leeks and drizzled with a sweet balsamic sauce.


2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup julienne-cut leeks
4 (6 ounce each) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Add the oil to a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Remove the leeks and set aside.
Season the salmon with half the salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook 3-4 minutes per side or until lightly browned and the salmon tests done with tested with a fork. Remove the salmon from the pan and keep warm.
Add the vinegar, honey, and remaining salt and pepper to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce is reduced by half.
Place the fish on individual serving plates. Top with the leeks. Drizzle with the honey-balsamic sauce and serve immediately.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
