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

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
