Grilled Salmon



Bottom line:  we love grilled salmon!

It is one of our very favorite things to make at home.

I adore the grilled salmon on top of our "go to salad," as our cherubs call it!  It's a spinach salad with dried cranberries, chopped purple onion, sliced strawberries, roasted almonds or pecans, slices of mandarin oranges, shaved Monterrey Jack cheese, and a lemon poppyseed dressing.

But truthfully, I'll eat grilled salmon with just about anything!

Remember the other night the Mr. and the cherubs made dinner for me when I returned home?

Besides the delish vanilla cupcakes and the roasted brussel sprouts, they made grilled salmon.

It was fantastic!

You can't mess up grilled salmon, unless, of course, you burn it.

But other than that, your imagination is your ticket to the flavor train!

This is our basic seasoning for the fish.

Grilled Salmon

1 large fresh salmon fillet
olive oil
salt/pepper
lemon pepper (or any seasoning of your choice)
garlic

Preheat the grill.

On the fish, skin side down, rub a bit of olive oil.  Gently rub in fresh chopped garlic (just a little -- maybe a couple of teaspoons.)  Sprinkle generously with the lemon pepper and top off with the salt and pepper.

Throw the salmon on the grill, skin side down.  Cook 10-15 minutes, but it truly depends on how thick the fillet is.  Turn the salmon and cook 10-15 minutes longer.  You are wanting opaque-looking fish, but not dry.

Remove from the grill and enjoy!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
