BBQ Teriyaki Salmon

I had this at my parents house a few weeks ago...delicious.

I bought the wild caught salmon (better for you than farm raised) and marinated it in teriyaki sauce overnight. These are key. Get yourself a cedar board (pack of three at BBQ Galore) and bbq it on low for about 20 minutes. Guaranteed new favorite way to cook salmon.

*The cedar boards are a one time use only and you must soak it in water (submerged) for at least two hours before putting on bbq.

A Success!

I made these tonight. It was a total success. They were fantastic. I bought wild caught, fresh mahi mahi and I think it might have made them just that much better. Paired the dinner with some fresh, white corn and we were all happy (Ave actually had a bean and cheese taco).

Fish Tacos

It's been a while, but I'm back. I got this recipe from my friend Kathryn's blog and it's on my menu this week. Doesn't it seem very Rubios-ish?

1 lb. firm white fish
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. taco seasoning
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. fresh orange juice
2 cups finely sliced cabbage
1/2 cups chopped green onions
1/2 cup sour cream
8 (6-in) corn tortillas
extra lime wedges
salt and pepper
Mango salsa (for garnish)
Grated cheese (optional)

Heat oil and saute fish on medium high heat until cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
Combine taco seasoning, lime juice and orange juice. Add coked fish, and toss to coat.
Combine cabbage, onions, sour cream and salt and pepper.
Warm tortillas. On top of warm tortilla, add cheese, fish, then cabbage mixture.
Top with mango salsa and fresh squeezed lime juice.

Salmon anyone?

Okay so I have a super easy salmon dinner..so good, simplest thing I make.
You just take a salmon fillet, about a pound, and put it in a foil lined bread pan. (since I don't make bread in my bread pan, this is a good alternative.) Have enough foil that you can wrap it up and over the salmon to cook.
Once you've placed the fish in the pan, shake as much as you want of your favorite cajun seasoning on it. (found in a spice jar looking jar. sometimes right by the fish/meats counter, other times with the other spices. our usuals are cajun choice, or northwest cajun. I'm not usually into "cajun" either, but this is good!) Obviously, the more you shake on, the spicier your fish will be. I usually put about a Tablespoon on..just enough to cover the whole fish, but not drown it. Next, just add a few slices of unsalted butter (again, as much or as little as you want.)
Then wrap the foil up and around, folding the ends together at the top (for easy opening later on), and put it in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes. For about the last 5, open up the foil, so it can get a little toasted on the top. Serve with rice (hooray for rice cookers, learned that in hawaii) and steamed veggies. yums! And the best part is, when you're done with the fish, you can throw away the foil, and your bread pan is still clean! woo hoo!
