DIJON CRUSTED FISH
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
4 fish fillets
Heat oven to 350F, and lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish and lemon juice, stir in 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs, and 2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese. Arrange fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet, and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the fish.
In another small bowl, mix together the melted butter, the remaining 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the coated fish.
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

PEA SOUP
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup bacon, chopped
1 pound sausage
1 leek, white and pale green part only, diced
1 carrot, diced
1/2 celery root, diced
1 teaspoon marjoram
salt
1 1/2 cups dried split green peas
5 to 6 cups vegetable broth
1 potato, peeled and diced
freshly ground black pepper
Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart pot. Add the onion and leek. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the carrot, celery root, marjoram and a pinch of salt and stir well. Cook for a few minutes.
Pour in the broth and dried peas, stir well and cover. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, drizzle a little olive oil in a skillet and cook the bacon and sausage until browned (my daughter is vegetarian so I served the meat on the side for the carnivores in the family to stir into their soup at the table)
Add the diced potato to the soup and stir well. Cook for another 20 minutes, add pepper and more salt to taste.
Enjoy!!
