So yesterday I did my weekly trip into the Chicago burbs to see my dad, plus the older of my 2 sisters joined us. Dad, wanted grilled salmon so grilled salmon it was. I got a nice center cut piece of organic King salmon raised in Scotland. This is outstanding stuff btw. While cooking this gorgeous hunk o fish I went outside to have a peek at it's progress on dad's old Genesis 3000. For the record this has the Summit grates on it. (heavy 3/8" SS). When I lifted the hood I heard a loud POP as apparently some of the fat "sizzled" between the skin and flesh of the fish. This loud pop resulted in some of the flesh "exploding" out spraying my face and putting a sizzling hot piece right into my eye! It not only was painful but startled the hell outta me I guess I let out a yell or something, my sister came running out and saw the slight burn mark on my forehead. Right eye was still very blurry. I finally went into the house. We were eating and she says she could see the stuff in my eye. Went in the bathroom and sure enough a piece of salmon was stuck to my eye! Luckily with a little moist tissue I got it off and all is well. But DAMN it was weird!
