Thanks go to Terry Henderson for his recipes today. Visit him at the following link when you have a moment and drop him a note. http://www.personalchefalliance.com -------------------------------------------------- Remember to buy fresh fish as close to the time you plan to eat it as possible. If you have to hold it for a couple days, here is a little trick to help keep it as fresh as possible. Put the fish fillet in a glass dish. Then fill a large ziplock style bag with ice and place the sealed bag on top of the fish, covering it completely. Store in the coldest part of your refrigerator. This will keep it very cold and lengthen the shelf life. If you are using frozen salmon or any other kind of fish, always thaw it out in your refrigerator overnight. -------------------------------------------------- Grilled Salmon With Lemon & Thyme I make this dish once a week, and have one client who eats this every day! Serving Size: 4 2 pounds Salmon fillet -- skinned 1 1/2 tbsp. Cognac 1/8 cup Lemon peel -- minced 1 tbsp. Shallot -- minced 3/4 tbsp. Kosher salt 3/4 tbsp. Sugar -- brown 1/2 tbsp. Thyme -- fresh -- minced 3/8 teaspoon Pepper Place salmon fillets on heavy large baking sheet. Rub cognac over both sides of fish. Mix together all remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Rub on fish and cover, leave for at least 2 hours. Cook for 10-15 minutes until cooked through. Serve garnished with sprig of thyme, or rosemary and a slice of lemon. Serving Ideas: Great with a salad or curried rice. NOTES: I use fresh herbs from my garden, you can use Rosemary instead of thyme, if you prefer. To heat, Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees, pop salmon into the oven for approx. 10 minutes to heat through. Can be heated in the microwave but not recommended -------------------------------------------------- How About Free Hot Sauce For A Year??
