This gougères recipe, based on classic pâte à choux dough, features Gruyère cheese, a bit of thyme, bacon and a dash of dried mustard baked into a savory hors d’oeuvre. They might sound fancy, but these can get into the oven in the time it takes it to preheat. For more recipes, visit Bakepedia.com.

Serve this with any seafood special you plan to cook up

The thyme used in this quick, easy and healthy recipe was clipped from a small pot of thyme resting on the window ledge of The Daily Meal office. It adds a bright, almost lemony flavor to the fish that's enhanced by the lemon juice and zest in the recipe. I used wild sockeye salmon which has a firm, deep-red flesh, but you can use any other variety as well (just try to avoid Atlantic Salmon because it is overfished). I purposely didn't use any oil in this recipe, since salmon is such a fatty fish and you don't really need an extra fat when cooking it. Enjoy! Click here to see Recipe SWAT Team: Salmon 8 Ways
