Come on guys, is this the best you can do? Try these (previously posted as in the slamon recipe thread):

2 lbs. yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 2 lb. salmon filet, pin bones removed
1 cup mixed country olives, pitted
1 Tbs. fresh basil leaves, sliced
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 425?F.
Spread the potatoes in a thin layer on a large, heavy baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, reserving 3 Tbs. Place the salmon on top of the potatoes; scatter the olives and basil leaves on top. Drizzle with reserved olive oil; sprinkle with kosher salt and generous grinds of coarse pepper.
Roast 20-30 minutes until fish flakes when pricked with a fork. Shake the pan a few times while roasting to distribute the fish juices into the potatoes.

Recipe 2-

1 2 lb. salmon filet, pin bones removed
1/2 cup red (barley) miso
2 Tbs. dry mustard
1 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Heat broiler until very hot. Place salmon (skin side down) on broiler pan coated with non-stick cooking spray. Combine remaining ingredients and spread evenly on the salmon. Broil 2" from heat source for 15-25 minutes (broilers vary widely in temperature) until top is crusty, a little blackened and fish flakes easily when pricked with a fork. One note-you may want to rotate your broiler pan halfway through the broiling time as salmon filets are thicker on one end than the other and broiler heat is mostly uneven.
Serve with sprigs of fresh cilantro and lime or lemon wedges for squeezing. Meyer lemons are especially good!
Enjoy!

Oven baked pancakes

Beat two eggs
Add 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt. (Salt doesnt' count, I'm up to four). Melt 1 tbsp of butter in pie pan. Cook in oven at 325 for 25 minutes.

Great plain!! (We put lemon curd on ours, but that would be six.....)

Here are two dishes with five ingredients!
(avocado, soy, wasabi, potatos, foia gras)

1. Warm avocado "sashimi" - Take a a very good avocado, ripe but a bit firm. Halve deseed, season and bake quickly in 400 degrees oven(usaully i'll saute in extra viring, but no oil in the list), just till warm. Slice and serve immidietlywith soy-wasabi sauce. it's important to put the soy sauce on when still hot, I drizzle on it istead of serving on the side.

2. Foia Graeed Potato - Take a patoto(yokun gold or any other creamy). Cover in alominium foil and bury inside a coal grill. If you don't have one just bake in 500 degree oven and bake till almost burnt on the outside. Cut in half and serve with raw foia gras the same way you'll do with butter. Sprinke some sea salt and frshly ground black pepper.

Two simples dishes both are awsome with very pure flavores.
How's that's for the challenge.

Dear foodnfoto:

I think that this qualifies for the 5 ingredient dish.

CHILI PASTA:

100g of small pasta shapes.

150-200g purple sprouting broccoli spears with their skin peeled off.

75g coarsely crumbed stale bread.

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.

1 teaspoon dried chili flakes

1 garlic clove, very finely chopped.

Put 2 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil into a large pan add the crumbs and toss to coat them evenly.

Place the pan over low to moderate heat and cook, stirring as necessary, until the crumbs are toasted and golden. Put the crumbs into a warmed bowl, season with salt and keep warm.

Cook the pasta in plenty of fast boiling salted water and steam the broccoli, making sure that they are both slightly undercooked. When vegetable and pasta are almost ready, add the garlic and chili to the frying pan with the remaining 2 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil and heat gently until hot (less than a minute).

Draw the pan quickly away from the heat and add the drained broccoli and pasta. Turn them in the pungently flavored oil until every spear and pasta shape are coated. Add the fried bread-crumbs. Toss again briefly and serve.

Boy, I go away for a few days and you guys start making up new rules and wild cards (gimmies) to the game! Hee- Hee-hee.
Five ingredients means 5. That's 5, total. Period.
The only gimmies are salt, pepper, and water. (No butter, oil or pasta.)
Shroomgirl, yours win so far. Most original and imaginative. Cape Chef, yours sound yummy too!!!!
