Chef Notes:

  • If salmon is not to your liking, any fresh fish can be prepared using this recipe. Sam's Club has a variety of fresh fish you can purchase. A general rule of thumb is to cook fresh fish for 10 minutes per inch of fish.

  • This is a quick, healthy dinner that the whole family will enjoy. Salmon is a nutrient-packed food that helps promote your health in a variety of ways. It is full of healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, packed with protein, and naturally low in calories. There are so many reasons you should eat more salmon, especially when you make this delicious recipe!

  • We are using the Member’s Mark croutons today. These croutons make delicious breadcrumbs for any of your recipes that require a crumb mixture. This proves croutons are not just for your salad! A great product to keep on hand in your pantry.

  • The lightly dressed salad adds the perfect balance to the fish. If you have never tried the amazing Flavor Bomb Cherry Tomatoes, you are in for a treat!

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups of Member's Mark Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter (used throughout)

  • 3 cups of Member's Mark Buttermilk Pancake Mix

  • 2 cups of Member's Mark Vitamin D Whole Milk

  • 2 Member's Mark Pasture Raised Grade A Large Brown Eggs

  • 5 teaspoons of Magnolia-Star Pure Vanilla Extract (used throughout)

  • 2 cups of Driscoll's Sweetest Batch Blueberries

  • 1 cup of Member's Mark Organic 100% Pure Maple Syrup

  • Member's Mark Original Dairy Whipped Topping

  • 1 cup of Member's Mark Honey Almond Granola

 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Place ¼ cup (½ of a stick) of butter on a 13”x 8” sheet pan. Place it in the oven to melt the butter while making the batter.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, eggs, milk, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Stir until combined. Note: Batter will still be lumpy, let it sit for 3-4 minutes before baking.

  4. Pour batter onto the sheet pan with the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread batter, creating an even surface. Sprinkle berries on top.

  5. Place the sheet pan into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on top and cooked through.

  6. Let cool slightly, then cut into 12 squares.

  7. While the pancakes are baking, create your syrup. Place 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring continuously. Continue cooking the butter once melted, until the butter begins to brown and smells fragrant. Remove from heat (butter will continue to brown)

  8. Stir 3 teaspoons of vanilla and the maple syrup into the butter, and stir until combined.

  9. To serve, place a pancake on a plate. Top with syrup and a sprinkle of granola on top.

 

Yield: 12 pancakes/2 cups of syrup
