grill man

I officially got my man-card last Friday. I’m now the proud owner of a grill. Beck got me my Fathers Day present a little early. Apparently I’m not man enough to get a charcoal one, but I thought I needed training wheels first so I went with gas. So far so good. I grilled burgers Friday with Shannon and his girls, but tonight we took it to a whole ‘notha level… Rosemary Salmon with Lemon. It was extremely easy (obviously since I was able to do it), and it was awesomely scrupcilious. So good in fact, I thought I’d share the recipe.
The Goods:
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
8 lemon slices (about 2 lemons)
1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1/2 cup marsala wine
4 teaspoons capers
The Directions:
Brush the top and bottom of the fillets with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Put each piece of the salmon on a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal. Top each fillet with 2 lemon slices, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of wine, and 1 teaspoon of capers. Wrap it all up tight in the foil and throw it on the grill at about 400ยบ for 10 minutes.
Boom your done. Its that easy.
There you have it, give it a whirl and let me know what you think.
Oh yea, I think my man-card was revoked tonight, I tweeted a confession…
So I guess the man-card was short lived. Doh!
about this whole man-card thing. I was really pleased to see you get a grill. In fact I support you on getting a gas grill, not having a charcoal one does not make you less of a man. Yes, there is more of an art to charcoal grilling than gas, but gas is for the practical man. Again, it almost brought tears to my eyes to hear you talk about grilling, like a father watching his son go through a right of passage to manhood. But! It crushed me to see what you tweeter, words cannot describe the disappointment. You were so closed to be inducted into the family of man…then to blow like you did. Don’t weary my friend, I still have hope for you yet!
I am definitely trying this one out this Summer!
