About a year ago, I really started getting into the Barefoot Contessa...for those who don't know, she is a Food Network chef who lives in the Hamptons and tapes from her kitchen. She is one classy brod! She used to own a specialty food store in Southampton called the "Barefoot Contessa" that she sold a few years back. She has 4 cookbooks full of elegant and EASY recipes that are sure to impress whether it is for a weeknight or a party. I have yet to taste a Barefoot recipe I don't like. She is the first to admit that she gets a little heavy on the butter, but this recipe is the exception. Last September, I made this dinner for my family including my Bubby (grandmother) and they loved it ! It's hard to believe that this will be a hit when you see how few ingredients are needed. Post a comment if you like it (or if you don't !)Asian Grilled Salmon (serves 2)
1 lb salmon fillet with skin on
2/3 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp good soy sauce
2 tbsp good olive oil
1/6 tsp minced garlic
Mix marinade ingredients and pour 1/2 on salmon. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Light a grill (or if you live in NY, your Le Creuset cast iron grill pan... :) ) and grill skin side down first. Grill 4 minutes on each side. Use a wide spatula to flip....be careful, it may splatter !!Transfer salmon to a plate and pour marinade on top. Allow fish to rest 10 minutes, it will cook more on the counter. Remove skin and serve warm or at room temperature.
Why is this recipe so "tried & true" ?
- It uses ingredients that are always in my pantry
- It's a crowd pleaser
- It is SUPER quick
- It looks pretty with the gorgeous grill marks
This tastes great with corn on the cob, roasted asparagus or yummy orzo with roasted veggies. Stay tuned for the recipe this weekend ! Happy 4th from your favorite Canadian !
