Instructions
- Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux and cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
- Add the mustard powder, salt, and pepper, and then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Combine the cheese sauce with the cooked macaroni. If desired, top with bread crumbs and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes until bubbly.
- In a bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Marinate the lamb chops in the mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh rosemary.
- In a bowl, combine the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and salt. Coat the salmon pieces in the spice mixture evenly.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the salmon bites and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until charred and cooked through.
- Serve the macaroni and cheese as a base on plates, top with honey garlic lamb chops and blackened salmon bites. Enjoy!
Notes
For added flavor, let the lamb chops marinate longer. You can also use different types of cheese for the macaroni and cheese for a unique twist.
