In my quest to avoid rice, pasta, and potatoes while making tonight's dinner, I settled on a menu of salmon and asparagus.
The asparagus was prepared using a recipe from Food Network's Ina Garten...Toss in olive oil (two tablespoons for a bundle), spinkle salt and pepper, and cook for 25 minutes at 400 degrees.
The salmon had me stumped at first. A few years ago I adopted a recipe from another Food Network chef, Alton Brown. It is delicious, but calls for a big dose of brown sugar... So I ended up making up my own recipe and hoping for the best. Nervously I watched Chad take his first bite, and then was relieved and delighted when he said that it was "The best salmon he'd had so far". Well, I felt so proud of my culinary creation and had to agree with Chad, so here is the recipe:
Season one pound fresh, wild-caught Salmon with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Pour two tablespoons over salmon as evenly as possible. Then cover salmon with 3 cloves minced garlic and two chopped green onions. Squirt 1-3 tsp. Of lime juice on fillet, and then evenly drizzle 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce.
Broil salmon on high for about 10 minutes, or until thickest section flakes part with a fork.
