Because of the lousy weather, work schedule and traveling for work, and other issues, it’s been a while since I was able to use Smaug. Since it was Good Friday, we decided to have grilled salmon steaks for dinner. Salmon steaks. These were huge — one pound each. When I was picking them out at our local fish place, I didn’t really realize how big they were. Nothing fancy in the prep work, just a decent sprinkling of Old Bay. I got Smaug up to 500ºF, and let him sit there for a while since this was the first cook I’ve done in a couple of months just to burn off any funkiness that might have been lurking inside. I put the salmon steaks on, and grilled them until they were able to release easily, which was about 4 minutes. I flipped them once, and grilled the other side until I got to the easy release stage as well. After poking them with a fork, I let them sit a little while longer to make sure the inside was where I wanted it, which was another 3 minutes or so. I like salmon to have a nicely cooked outside, and the inside to be barely cooked. (I know, I need to get an instant read thermometer.) Closeup of the salmon on the grill. Plated, with some sautéed spinach and a leftover biscuit from Red Lobster. Yummy! Our local fish place does a great job of sourcing their fish. The salmon steaks were big enough that there’s leftovers for a second meal. I really misjudged the size of them when I was picking out the salmon steaks. And am I glad the weather is better now.

Beautiful cook. PS - Anyone besides me look at those steaks and think "butt and legs???"

Big fan of peach with baby backs, nice to see the great white north represented! (I'm a Canuck transplanted to Houston.... )
