Who loves Salmon? I simply love it especially made this way. However, I am not picky at all. When it comes down to this delicious fish, I could eat it pretty much any possible way prepared.

I really try to make fish and serve it to my family at least once a week. One tip though, always get salmon that is Wild caught, opposed to getting the one that is farm raised.

You would think that they taste the same, and you are getting identical nutrition, but no, there is a difference.

Do not get me wrong, I bought a farm-raised salmon many times, but I try to get wild caught when it is avalable to me.

Atlantic salmon and Pacific salmon look similar on the outside. But between species and even within the same species, each type of salmon can have different flavors, textures, and flesh color.

Again depends on my availability, I switch between Atlantic and Pacific Salmon. Now, if the salmon is frozen, try to defrost it. For quick-thawing, place frozen package in cool water for approximately 20 minutes. Once deforsted, immediately cook or refrigerate.

Lemon Herb Grilled Salmon

Course Grilling, Main Course

Cuisine Mediterranean

Keyword grill, seafood, salmon, dinner,

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Total Time 35 minutes

Servings 4

Author Sandra | Sandra’s Easy Cooking

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds Salmon with skin
• 1/2 tablespoon Lemon Zest
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 1 tablespoon unsalted Butter
• 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
• 2 teaspoons Freshly Chopped Dill
• 1 teaspoon Freshly Chopped Parsley
• Lemon slices for the garnish
• Wood pellets: MESQUITE or HICKORY

Instructions

1. When ready to cook, set the temperature to 325F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
2. Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, softened unsalted butter, dill, parsley, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
3. Generously slather the top of the salmon fillet with the mixture and top with a slice of lemon. You may allow marinating for about 10 minutes or so to absorb the mixture.
4. Place the salmon fillets on the hot grill grate, skin-side facing down.
5. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145F and flakes easily, or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred taste.

   Serve with Lemon slices and perhaps garlic-butter dip

Recipe Notes

How long do you cook salmon in the oven?

• It will depend on the size and the thickness of your salmon, of course. If your filet is thick I’d say about 25 minutes in the oven at 400ºF. But it has a normal size I would say about 15 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

I have been planning for a while to post a delicious recipe using my smoker or a grill.

Summer season is here so you can make this over and over again during beautiful summer evenings and enjoy it with your family and friends.

Also, 4th of July is just around the corner so let us make these tasty Asian beef, pepper and onion Skewers.

Prep your meat, and heat up your grills because you guys are going to love these mouthwatering beef skewers. I made them so many times, but I never had the time to actually take pictures. I have a house full of hungry kids so there is no freaking way to take even 5 minutes to snap a few pics.

Today, I did not tell anyone that I was making one of their favorite summer savory foods. It was quite a surprise when I open the outside door and called everyone to join me in the backyard.

I set up the table, quickly finished taking pics and called them to come out for a delicious evening in the backyard. You must love summer evenings, fireflies, grilled food and laughter of your loved ones?

That, my friends, makes my heart fill with joy and happiness. I do not know what I did in my past life, but I feel incredibly happy to have these people. My tribe, my everything. I hope you all create your own memories during summer days.

Asian Beef Skewers

The Best Smoked Asian beef skewers

Course Grilling, Main Course

Cuisine Asian

Keyword grill, smoker, beef, grilling

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Marinate time 1 hour

Total Time 50 minutes

Servings 4 Servings

Author Sandra | Sandra’s Easy Cooking

Ingredients

• 2 pounds top sirloin steak cut into cubes
• 2 Bell Peppers any kind
• 1/2 Large Onion preferably red

Marinade

• 1 tbsp Oil
• 1/4 cup Ponzu Sauce
• 1/4 cup Soy Sauce light
• 1 tbsp. Lemon Juice
• 1 tbsp. Honey
• 1 inch Fresh Ginger grated
• 3 garlic cloves minced or grated

Instructions

1. Combine all the ingredients for marinade and pour over the cubed meat. Allow it to marinate in the fridge for one hour. Make sure that the bowl is covered with plastic wrap. You can toss and turn beef cubes around just to make sure every beef cube is marinated properly. 

2. Once the meat has marinated, thread it onto the skewers alternating with pieces of bell pepper and red onion. Just before grilling brush some of the marinade over the skewers.
3. Grill kebabs over slower temperature (300F), turning them around at least one time for 40 minutes. If you have a lid or a smoker with a lid close it and cook for about 40 minutes to up to 50 minutes depending on how big your beef cubes are or how your grill/smoker operate.
4. Once the internal temperature of each piece reaches 130°F (54°C), remove the kebabs from the grill or take them out of the smoker. Allow the meat to rest for about 4-5 minutes so the juices could go back in.

Recipe Notes

• You may use Mirin instead of the Lemon juice to tenderize the meat. Mirin is Japanese type of rice wine similar to sake, but with a lower alcohol content and higher sugar content. I like the fresh taste of lemon juice so I use it.
• Any Skewers will do, however, if you going to grill wooden skewers make sure to soak them in a bit of water before grilling to prevent them from burning away.
