Grilled to Perfection

My favorite fish is salmon. Pronounced saa-men for those of you Southerners like me who may remember the silent L but add a long O at the end.

This past week my husband has taken to firing up the grill almost every other day. Could be because of my injury or it could be because he realized that the grill is just taking up space on the patio serving as a constant reminder of all the things we thought we couldn't live without and plunked down a chunk of change to get and we never use! I'd like to think it's the former.

The first time (four years ago) my husband ever tried to grill fish it was comical. The fish literally fell apart and ended up in every crevice of the grill. The man has gotten wise with age. He bought a fish basket/cage-thing to use on the grill. I generously seasoned the salmon with lemon pepper, garlic salt and a hint of Tony Chachere's (Chachere's just makes EVERYTHING taste better). He grilled the fish for about 10-12 minutes on each side and it was like BUTTA!

We could have eaten it by itself but I prepared (opened the can and poured in the pot) a can of green beans and baked some steak fries with olive oil and kosher salt. Mmm Mmm good!
