Dinner Tonight

After spending time by the beach, I always get a craving for seafood. Tonight’s menu will hit the spot!

Grilled Salmon with Garlic Dill Sauce

Grilled Red Potatoes

Steamed Asparagus tips

Raspberry Sorbet

Potatoes-

Cut medium red potatoes in half. Place in a microwave safe dish and cook in microwave- about 6 to 9 minutes for 4 potatoes. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes after cooking. After potatoes are done, place on grill for a few minutes just until the outside gets nice charred grill marks on the cut side.

Grilled Salmon with Garlic

Dill Sauce recipe-

4 decent size fresh salmon steaks (farm raised is good for grilling because the fat content is higher)

Prepare the following sauce

1 cube butter- melted in microwave for about 1 minute

Add-

· 2 T garlic powder

· 1 T Kosher Salt

· 1 T Cracked black pepper

· 2 T fresh chopped Dill weed (or 1 T dry dill)

· ¼ cup dry white wine

· 1 T fresh lemon juice

Cook sauce over low heat until reduced by 1/3. Set aside half of the sauce to drizzle over salmon after cooking.

Grill salmon and baste often with sauce- cook until desired doneness. Some prefer salmon rare, I am not one of those people. I like salmon cooked well but certainly not dry. Take care with fish as it can dry out fast.

While salmon is cooking, steam the asparagus about 8 minutes. After it is done, drizzle butter and a squeeze of lemon juice over it.

Plate the Salmon and lightly drizzle remaining sauce over each steak. Serve the asparagus and potatoes on the side. Garnish with a sprig of dill and 2 lemon wedges. After dinner finish with a nice light raspberry sorbet.

Yummy!!
