2 fer Monday!

I did some grillin' this weekend, I just haven't got around to posting. Friday's meal was some fish from up Morgan's way: Copper River salmon. Dusted w/ Bone Dust and Ray's basil/citrus



marinading a Romaine heart and Beer o' the Night



a little later... salmon and CI taters on Red Genny



salmon and lettuce



and plated



I also grilled some peach halves: you can't see it too well, but they have a light sprinkle of black pepper and a drizzle of bourbon. The lettuce came out more steamed than grilled, I didn't have the temp up too high in consideration for that very tasty salmon. I still ate it all up!

Saturday evening was chicky thighs on the kettle






the dastardly duo



chow time






I had recently made a new batch of Kimchi and came up with something new: Kimchi Coleslaw. Equal parts coleslaw and Kimchi. Turned out pretty good, I'll be making it again. Thanks for stopping by!

Great job on everything, Brian. Looks delicious!

 

[Jose Suro]

Everything looks excellent! Well done.

 

[James Lake]

Great looking cooks neighbor! I've been enjoying the copper river salmon also. I haven't seen that Piston beer yet, but I will keep my eye open. We have started Medford beer week here, so maybe I'll find it really soon.

 

[Tony R]

Looks all good to me. Have a great week my friend.

 

[Bill Schultz]

some fantastic cooks there bud, creative too. I like creative!

 

[Rich Dahl]

Wow! Very nice Brian doing some different things makes it nice. Mind sharing the Romaine marinade, Barb really wants to try that, I've seen it done on here a few times but don't have a clue where to start.

 

[Mike Coffman]

Fantastic Brian!

 

[Mildo]

Love to see potatoes on the side, Brian. They look delicious.
Now seriously. Fish and chicken are out of this world, my friend. Nicely done and beautiful plates.

It all looks great - especially as I wait for a storm to pass before I can fire up my kettle. The Kimchi and slaw looks interesting.

Medford beer week has an 'ellova schedule, James. You may not find Piston, but who cares - that's a lot of good beer!

@Rich - the marinade is pretty simple: EVOO, vinegar (sometimes Balsamic) S & P, and Rays citrus/basil rub. Italian dressing works well, too. I've put hot sauce in the marinade before... it's all good. You want a pretty hot flame - I'm shooting for char marks. As opposed to steaming, which is what happened here It cooks pretty quickly. I split a heart in half, soak (in less than a quarter cup of marinade) for about a half hour, turning once or twice. A quick and easy "salad".
