Dinner Friday Night

Friday we had maple cedar blank salmon for dinner. While soaking the blank, I salted and peppered the fish and let it come to room temperature. When I put it on the blank, I brushed the fish was a mixture of maple syrup, dijon, olive oil and lemon zest.   

David put it on the grill and the smoke billowed out into the backyard and the smell was amazing.  The fish came out delicate in the center with a sweet and smokey exterior. Just perfect!  We had it with grilled zucchini and onions and a tomato basil salad.   

We needed a quick and easy dinner. Friday night was full of drama. Remember the time I dropped the orange in the toilet?  Or the drama with the toilet during the hurricane? Well, more toilet drama last night. Or really more the "lack of drama" that I realized about 3:00AM.  Stayed tuned for that upcoming post.
