Summer Means Grilling Season

Tuesday, July 05, 2011

It seems that the Fourth of July starts the summer events rolling.  Outdoor “get togethers” means getting the grill fired up.  Doesn’t grilling make everything taste better?   And I love that there is no kitchen clean up.   Here are a couple of ideas that are so simple and healthy. 

Grilled Salmon on a plank- follow the directions for the plank -which means an hour or so of soaking thus a little planning ahead.  I use cedar, but maple or alder wood is good too. 

Lay the salmon fillets on the plank; top with thinly sliced lemon, thinly sliced sweet onion and thyme sprigs.  Place on the grill and cook according to plank directions or about 15 minutes. I brush on a little Thai peanut sauce just before taking it off, but that is totally optional.   Serve with some grilled asparagus or green beans and maybe a green salad and you are all set with an easy, healthy meal.

                                                  

 

 Turkey Juicy Lucy-another easy and fun idea. This is one of our favorites that we have shared with you before, but it bears repeating!  See the directions for making on our recipe page or on our DVD.
