Beau got a gas grill for Father’s Day. He put it together on Monday and we fired it up to reheat some steaks - not the best but we needed to eat up the leftovers. Last night was the true test of our grilling skillz and we both were very happy with the results.

First, I prepped Paula Deen’s Grilled Potatoes. Instead of her House seasoning, I used Veggie Magic, of course. They turned out really well and were delicious.

However, the cedar plank salmon was to die for. I marinaded the salmon in Wegmans‘ Lemon and Garlic marinade - sorry for the lack of linkage; Wegmans website doesn’t allow non-members to view the online store for some reason. After soaking the plank for about 2 hours, I placed the salmon on it and then put it on the grill. 20 minutes later we had wonderfully tender, moist, and smokey salmon. Yum-my.

I also steamed fresh broccoli.

All in all a tasty meal that we plan to repeat with ECD and Holly come to visit for the July 4th weekend.

Next up on the grill is most likely some kind of chicken idea - maybe tomorrow night.
