Once again the NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers return to Dover, Delaware to compete in the AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway. This is the third of ten Chase races.
The last time we explored Delaware through recipes we did so with seafood. This is for good reason as Delaware has an excellent coastline that makes fresh seafood a go-to option for dinners.
Why mess with perfection? Here are some more scrumptious seafood recipes to add to your repertoire inspired by Delaware’s bounty from the sea.
Here is a great appetizer or main dish utilizing clams.

Salmon is one of those health foods that is easy to love. Full of flavor, stands up to myriad cooking methods and delicious raw (sushi anyone?), it is a great fish to add to your weekly diet.

Recipe found on http://allrecipes.com/recipe/crusted-salmon-with-honey-mustard-sauce/detail.aspx
Ingredients:
Original recipe makes 4 fillets.
1 (1.5 pound) skinless center-cut salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
1 cup milk
1/4 cup fine bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon honey
Directions:
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish; pour the milk over the fillets. Allow the salmon to soak in the milk 10 to 15 minutes.
Stir the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a wide, deep bowl. Beat the egg in a separate bowl until frothy. Remove the salmon fillets from the milk; shake the excess milk off the fish. Dip each fillet into the beaten egg and then gently press into the bread crumb mixture to coat; gently shake to remove the excess.
Bake in the preheated oven, turning once, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
While the salmon bakes, stir the butter, mustard, and honey together in a bowl; drizzle over the baked salmon to serve.
