Sweet Rosemary & Lemon Salmon

Ok, here’s a keeper…. if you like fish and you like flavor and you are feeling up for something new and fun- here’s your ticket! We tried this recipe out the other night and it was great, a fun treat if you wanna break away from your regular simple fish!

We did this recipe on the BBQ and we used a Cedar Plank to give it a smoked flavor. It turned out very tasty… here’s what you do! (If you don’t have a plank or don’t want to use one, follow these cooking directions, it should turn out just fine!)

Ingredients:
2 TBSP honey
1 TBSP lemon zest, finely grated
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely minced
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 lb. salmon stakes

Directions:
If you use a cedar plank, you need to soak it for at least an hour, 2 if you have the time, and you can to do that by fill a roasting pan and submerging the plank under water (with a glass or some other heavy object) letting it soak for a while so it doesn’t torch while on the grill :)

Then place your salmon stakes on the plank with the skin side down, and mix your marinate in a small bowl. Spoon your marinate on top and let it sit for 15 minutes, not too long for fish, you can over marinate it. After 15 minutes, take the plank to the BBQ and over med-high heat, grill it for about 20 minutes or until the fish looks cooked and the fat starts to surface to the top (it will depend on how thick your steaks are). Remove the plank from the grill and let the fish rest for 5 minutes on the plank before serving. Remove skin before putting it on the plate… but you already knew that :)

Sauteed Green Beans…


Super simple, so fresh, so crisp, compliments anything perfectly. You can’t go wrong.

Ingredients:
1 lb. fresh green beans, ends trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
a drizzle of Grape Seed oil
sea salt
pepper
Directions:
After rinsing your green beans, discarding small or shriveled ones, trimming the ends and cutting them into bite sizes, toss them in a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of grape seed oil and freshly minced garlic cloves. Toss every few minutes for 7- 8 minutes, depending on how crunchy you like them. Season with sea salt & pepper and serve! Enjoy!!
