Salmon with mustard dill sauce is packed with flavor. The recipe for this gluten-free dish is easy. If possible, use wild salmon which has a deep, natural color and a much richer taste than farm-raised salmon. Preparation time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Yield: Four servings Ingredients: 1 teaspoon plus 3 tablespoons olive oil Four 5-ounce wild salmon fillets 1 garlic clove 1 lemon 2 green onions 1/2 teaspoon dried dill 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons slivered almonds 1 teaspoon brown mustard 1/4 teaspoon pepper Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the skin from the salmon by using a very sharp, thin knife. Lightly oil an 8-x-11-inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Rinse and pat the fillets dry. Place the fish in a single layer in the dish. Mince the garlic. Juice the lemon. Chop the green onions. Combine 1/4 teaspoon garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the onion, dill, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, almonds, brown mustard, pepper, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a blender. Puree the ingredients for 10 seconds. Scrape down the blender’s sides with a spatula. Puree for 10 more seconds. Spread the sauce over the fish, dividing evenly. Bake the fillets for about 15 minutes or until a fork inserted in the thickest part of the salmon turns easily.

These gluten-free granola bars are delicious as a quick snack or on a road trip. Keep some of these granola bars with you at all times when you’re hungry but can’t find a gluten-free food. Try to use only unsulfured organic fruits for the best flavor, texture, and nutrition. A nice combination is dried tart cherries, dried apricots, unsweetened flaked coconut, and dark chocolate M&M candies. Preparation time: 20 minutes, plus rest time Cooking time: 40 minutes Yield: 60 bars 1 cup unsalted organic butter 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup honey 12 ounces smooth or chunky almond butter 5-1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats 2 eggs, beaten 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 4 cups diced dried fruit, chopped nuts, coconut, and M&M candies In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, honey, and almond butter, stirring until the mixture has a smooth and even texture. Remove from the heat and add the rolled oats. Stir until combined. Stir in the eggs, baking soda, salt, and vanilla until well-combined. Add the fruits, nuts, coconut, and M&Ms. You can use any combination of any of these ingredients as long as they add up to 4 cups. Cover the dough and let it chill overnight to let the oats absorb the eggs, butter, and almond butter. When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough between the cookie sheets and pat it into an even layer about 1/2-inch thick. Bake for 20 minutes and then rotate the pans and move them around on the racks. Bake for 20 minutes longer, until the bars are light golden-brown and set. Cool completely and cut into bars.

You may have to try several times to get your gluten-free baked loaves to come out right, so don’t get discouraged if your first attempt isn’t picture perfect. Use these troubleshooting tips to solve potential problems: Underdone bread: If your baked loaf of bread isn’t fully cooked inside, the easiest remedy is to bake the dough in two smaller pans next time. If your bread is still mushy inside, often the cause may be due to the oven temperature. Gluten-free products frequently need to be baked at a lower temperature for a longer period of time. If you lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees, that may solve the problem. If the loaf starts to get too dark, cover it with foil halfway through baking. And don’t use dark or Teflon-coated baking pans. They may cause the bottom of the bread to burn before the inside is completely baked. Crumbly bread: If your loaf looks pretty and smells divine, but falls apart when you cut it, it has a case of the crumbles. First, do not throw out the crumbs. Dry them out and add seasonings to make bread crumbs. Then try any or all of these remedies: The cause of the crumbles may be that the dough was too dry. Next time, slightly reduce the amount of flour. Add a teaspoon of unflavored gelatin to the dry ingredients to help bind the bread (in addition to the xanthan gum called for in a recipe). Before even trying to cut the loaf, refrigerate it and then slice it with a serrated knife while it’s cold. Tasteless bread: Without some precautions, gluten-free bread can easily taste like cardboard. Fortunately, you can add all sorts of things to the dough to avoid this from happening: Substitute some of the water with a liquid that has flavor, like cold brewed coffee, honey, maple syrup, molasses, or fruit juice (pineapple, lemon, orange, or apple). Add extra flavoring (more vanilla or almond flavoring, cinnamon, Italian seasoning, Parmesan, or cheddar cheese). Toasted coconut or mini chocolate chips are also optional stir-ins, as are minced dried fruits. Toast seeds or nuts and sprinkle them on top before baking. Sesame, poppy, caraway, and sunflower seeds are popular choices. Try using dark brown sugar in place of granulated sugar.
