Grilled Salmon

Ingredients

• Salmon Fillet (although just about any cut of fish will do, salmon is simply what I usually reach for)
• Lemons (2-3 depending on your fillet size)
• Kosher Salt
• Black Pepper

Directions

1. Bring your grill up to temp, get it good an hot.
2. Slice the lemon into ¼ to ½ inch slices
3. Cut the fillet into 2 - 3 inch slices
4. Dust the fillet slices with black pepper, then some kosher salt.
5. With the grill up to temp place the lemons directly on the grill forming a row big enough to place a slice of fillet on top.
6. Repeat placing lemon slices with fillet slices on top until all are on the grill
7. The lemons are going to cool your fire down so close the lid and leave things alone for at least 10 minutes, once the grill starts to heat up you'll get some smoke through the vents.
8. After 10 minutes take a look to make sure everything is progressing as expected. If it is, leave it alone, you could try to flip the fish on the lemons, but I've found the fish will start falling apart and cause problems
9. In another 10 minutes you'll be ready to eat, I like to serve with a side of asparagus and baked potato as the potatos take about 20 minutes on the grill and asparagus only takes about 5.

Easy Baked Potato

Potato's are easy, but getting the timing right can be tricky, this is pretty much a fool proof method of getting your potato's cooked on time, every time.

1. Take however many potato's you want and, using a fork, poke a couple holes in them. Put potato's in a microwave on high for 5 minutes
2. Once done coat the potato's in oil (I like olive) and dust with black pepper and kosher salt
3. Put potato's on a heated grill and leave for 10 minutes.
4. After 10 minutes flip the potato's over

(Pro tip: I like to keep the plate I used to prep the potato's and, at the 10 minute mark, using a brush to re-apply the oil/salt/pepper that sloughed off the potato's before they went on the grill)

5. After the 10 minutes are up (20 minutes total cook time)

BBQ Asparagus

Asparagus: Nature's most efficient garlic butter delivery system!

1. Using fresh asparagus remove the bottom ½ to 3/4 inch of the stem (they get woody and chewy at that point)

2. Coat asparagus with oil (Olive!) and give a dusting of black pepper and kosher salt

3. Sprinkle a bit of diced garlic on top

4. Place prepped asparagus on grill and leave for 5 minutes

5. Flip asparagus over and leave for 3-5 minutes longer

6. Remove and enjoy!

Real simple, but real good!
