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!!
