BEST SALMON I HAVE EVER EATEN!

This afternoon I had to run to Hobby Lobby (AGAIN) to get more yarn (AGAIN)...and when I left I told Keenan to look up a recipe somewhere for a delicious salmon dish since we had a huge salmon fillet out on the counter thawing.  Well, he found a good idea but of course I didn't follow the recipe, it just gave me an idea....Imagine that!

Grilled Stuffed Salmon
4 salmon fillets or a whole large salmon fillet
Cut partially through
Stuff with:
1/3 of a medium onion chopped very fine
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1tsp of minced ginger paste
2T olive oil
What doesn't fit inside the salmon spread on top

Salt and pepper the tops of the salmon and place in a grill pan or fish basket
Make glaze of:
2T soy sauce
2T lime juice
2T honey
Spoon over the top, grill for 5 minutes, spoon rest of glaze over top and grill 5 more minutes

Baked Broccoli and onions
Take the rest of the onion and slice and separate
Cut up 2 heads of broccoli (save the stems for soup later on)
Sprinkle with seasoning of your choice and spray with Pam
Bake on a cookie sheet in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so

We also served this with Quinoa
4 cups of water
2 cups of Quinoa
1T chicken broth base
Boil for 15-20 minutes until water is absorbed

 

I won't lie, this is not an "easy" meal, but it went together quite quickly and we enjoyed it a LOT!
