Grilled or Broiled Salmon

I always have frozen salmon on hand for a quick, healthy meal.
You may use either fresh or frozen. 

You'll need:
Fresh or frozen salmon (Frozen salmon comes in small individually wrapped portions OR large segmented pieces.)

Sea salt to taste

Chili powder to taste (no MSG)

Garlic granules to taste (optional)

Dried dill weed, about ¼ tsp. per serving

Butter OR non-dairy margarine (several Tbls.)

If using frozen salmon, thaw in refrigerator overnight OR poach salmon portions in boiling water for approximately 7 minutes just before grilling or broiling. Remove and drain.

Lightly grease a piece of foil using ½ Tbl. butter OR non-dairy margarine. Fold in edges of foil to form a makeshift baking tray. Tray will be about 10”x12”. Place fresh, thawed, or poached salmon on foil tray.

Sprinkle salmon with sea salt, chili powder, and garlic granules. Gently press seasonings into salmon with a butter knife. Sprinkle with dried dill weed.

Place tray with salmon on grill or under broiler on low, for approximately 5-7 minutes, if poached. If using fresh OR thawed salmon, adjust broiling or grilling time to approximately 12 minutes.

When salmon is done, place ¼ tsp. butter OR non-dairy margarine on each portion and spread with a butter knife.

It melts great this way. Fold foil around salmon sealing in heat and juices. Place foil pack in oven OR grill with heat off until ready to serve. Enjoy with Jasmine rice, parsley potatoes or steamed veggies.

Grilled Portabella Mushrooms

 

 

This is simple and fast!

Although, if time permits, a baked Russet or sweet potato goes well with this dish.

 

1. Preheat your grill.

2. Lightly brush Extra Virgin Olive Oil over a square of foil. Fold in sides of foil to create an edge.

3. Rinse and pat dry Portabella mushrooms. (Approximately 1 large or 2 medium sized per serving.)

4. Place mushrooms on foil, stem down, and brush tops of mushrooms lightly with olive oil.

5. Place foil on grill rack. (Low to medium setting on grill.)

6. Turn mushrooms over once to heat through, with total cooking time approximately 5 -10 minutes depending on size and quantity of mushrooms.

 

Place mushrooms on bed of salad greens, if desired, and drizzle with your favorite dressing (raspberry or balsamic vinaigrette tastes great with this), create a sandwich, or just sprinkle with a dash of sea salt.

 

Enjoy!
