Grilled Salmon and Meat and Veggie Foil Packets

This new gastronomic venture has yielded some very yummy new (to us) recipes that I thought I'd share.

Cedar Plank grilled Salmon

Delicious!! I'm not exactly sure where I got this recipe from. Actually I think it was Wes that found it. Very simple, though. 
1. Soak planks at least an hour before grilling (so as not to catch them on fire when grilling, smart)
2. Place salmon (wild-caught Alaskan salmon, not that farm raised stuff) scale-side down on cedar plank
3. Rub salmon with a little olive oil, salt, and (since we didn't get lemon at the store, DOH) a little lemon pepper seasoning
4. GRILL!! Med-high heat for 20-30 minutes or until done.

We added baked sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli. Super good! Reed couldn't get enough salmon. I think he ate about half of mine (which was very disheartening because it was so good that I wanted to eat it all myself). Bad Mommy.

Grilled Veggie and Meat Packets

with homemade whole wheat tortillas

This is directly from Lisa's 100 Days of Real Food site, and  it was awesome! Here is the link:

Sorry there's no picture of the inside. We were so hungry that we dove right in and didn't look back. So just imagine a delicious foil packet full of grilled mushrooms, bell peppers, jalapeno, potato, zucchini, onion, and chicken. It was seriously delicious, especially with our homemade tortillas (which were surprisingly easy to make).

I know, you can totally tell I made these myself. Most of them looked like a deformed Pacman, but they were tasty. A little 100% whole wheat flour, oil, and water, and you're ready to make tortillas! Here's the link: http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2010/05/26/recipe-whole-wheat-tortillas/

We will definitely be making these recipes again (if I can convince my sweet husband to fire up his grill, which he hates - the grill, not grilling - but that's an entirely different post).


Enjoy!
