I think the sun actually came out for a few minutes today. Hopefully we will start to see more of it and be able to get out in our backyard for some grillin’. When we BBQ in summer we typically think of hamburgers and hot dogs. Chicken has made its way into that mix as a staple nowadays but one of my favorites is grilled salmon. Salmon is one of those fish that holds up well on the grill without having to use one of those basket contraptions. Salmon will also go well with just about any marinade you can think of. Try it a few ways to see what you like best. Take your favorite salad dressing and pour it into a ziplock bag with the salmon and let it sit for about 30 minutes to an hour in the refrigerator. Take the fish out and let it sit for about 30 minutes inside the ziplock until it comes to room temp. Then toss it on a really hot grill. Baste the fish with the dressing then lower the grill to medium and close it. Check the fish in about 5 minutes and turn. Baste some more and close grill for another 3-5 minutes depending on how thick the salmon is. You don’t want to burn it. Discard the rest of the marinade. Take the hot fish off the grill and put it o top of a big pile of fresh baby spinach and then top with some more of your favorite salad dressing. Grab a nice fresh
piece of bread and a glass of wine and enjoy the summer evening. Try the same thing with fresh tuna or mahi mahi.
