Friday night Salmon- June 3rd, 2011




Friday night in June sounded like a good time to attempt to get some Copper River salmon so I went to Dillons after work and got a pound and a half.  Rather than marinate in the bag I just put the fish on our fish platter and put olive oil, light soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic salt and California pepper.  I started the fire, prepared the asparagus with olive oil and sea salt then waited until the egg reached 400 degrees.  I placed the fish directly on the grill and held the temperature at 350.  The salmon cooked for around 20 minutes and easily came off the grill onto the fish platter.  I put the asparagus on the Green Egg grill pan which I had sprayed with Pam and cooked them for 7 minutes.  For a side i had orzo salad from The Traveling Chef, Jennifer Smith.  We had a nice salad and a great 1997 bottle of Silver Oak. It was a pleasure to have our first meal of the season being outside on the patio.  Simple meal and great tastes.
