Thai-Flavored Grilled Salmon Salad
Ever since Jeanne first announced the creation of "Waiter, there's something in my...", I've been keen to participate.
No, I really have. It may not look that way to you, as this is my first entry, ever. But I really truly have tried. Either I miss a deadline, or fall asleep on the couch in sheer exhaustion, or something else gets in the way.
I came across the announcement for the latest theme, Meatless BBQ, a bit late, but c'mon...Jeanne practically cutomized this one for me. We love to grill (and I love the way Matt smells after standing over hot coals!), and meat-free foods? Oh, I can do that.
We turned this foodie-challenge into Saturday night dinner, starting with Grilled Potatoes & Red Peppers, which were (post-flames) sprinkled with a Mexican cheese. Yum.
Nothing shocking or new here, but Grilled Fresh Corn? Perfect.
And Spicy Grilled Tofu, based on a Senalgese recipe (from Linda McCartney); chunks of tofu marinated in peanut butter, lemon juice, onion, red pepper, thyme, and bay leaf, then grilled.
Lightly spicy, with delicate crunch.
Oh, and the photo at the top? That's all Matt.
A gorgeous chunk of Wild Alaskan Sockeye salmon, briefly marinated in olive oil, mint and red pepper, grilled to perfection!, then flaked over mixed greens and mung bean sprouts, dressed with a mix of lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, red pepper, dash of sugar, and mint.
So, Jeanne...I did it!

- Grilled Summer Vegetable Salad Recipe
Today is National Salad Day. Would I make that up? Actually I got several emails reminding me about it. I was going to post a vegetable salad when I realized, it was also an all local dish which fits nicely with the One Local Summer event where participants...
- Minimalist Sandwich
This is just a sandwich. A good sandwich, to be fair. But a sandwich, nonetheless. Chicken, marinated in olive oil and garlic and lemon juice, grilled. Topped with slices of mozzarella, tomatoes marinated in the same (but different bowl, 'cause,...
- Cookbook Review: Grilled Pizzas & Piadinas
The Buffalo Wing Years ago, when I first heard of grilled pizzas, I remember telling Matt we really needed to do this. This was perfect for us. Of course, we never actually got around to doing it. Perhaps a deep-seeded dislike of Bobby Flay prevented...
- Thai Beef Salad
Matt loves Thai food. I'm not nearly as interested, but we have this crazy notion of making each other happy in this house...so Donna Hay to the rescue. From her Modern Classics 1 book, a fairly straight-up dish. (Barely) Grilled beef, sliced and...
- Salmon Niçoise Sandwiches
A take on the Pan Bagnat; using grilled salmon in lieu of chicken. Thinly sliced cucumbers, yellow bell peppers, celery, scallions and olives, tossed with olive oil and lemon juice. Add grape tomatoes, hard-cooked egg slices, and basil, put into hollowed-out...
