Hello,
So today I have a healthy, yet super delicious recipe.
I bring you a fish recipe for your eyes and mouth to feast on!
Let's get hands on and make the delicious Spicy Grilled Salmon!


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's.
  • 1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar.
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise.
  • 1 tablespoon snipped chives.
  • 8 stalks celery, very thinly sliced in half moons on an angle.
  • 1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced.
  • Four 5-ounce center-cut skin-on salmon fillets, about 1 inch thick.
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill.

Preparation

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan on medium high.

Mix together the hot sauce, brown sugar, paprika and cayenne in a small bowl.
Transfer 1 tablespoon of the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise; set aside the rest of the sauce.
Add the chives, celery and onions to the bowl with the mayonnaise and toss well.

Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper.
Brush the grill grate lightly with oil.
Lay the salmon on the grill, skin-side up, and cook until distinct grill marks appear and the salmon releases easily from the grate, 2 to 3 minutes.
Turn and brush the fish with some of the reserved sauce.
Continue to cook the fish, brushing the pieces periodically with the sauce, until the salmon fillets are glazed and just cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes more.

Transfer the fillets to individual plates and serve with the celery slaw.
Yummy Yummy :)

Hello there!
So today I have another delicious recipe to present to you!
This one easy, yet most tasty recipe, called Bacon Meatloaf!
If I had to describe this recipe I would go with YUMMY!


Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef (15 to 20 percent fat content).
  • 1 medium yellow onion, grated on the large holes of a box grater (about 3/4 cup), excess liquid discarded.
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 1 ounce).
  • 1/3 cup ketchup.
  • 1/4 cup fine, unseasoned breadcrumbs.
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh Italian parsley.
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten.
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped.
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt.
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  • 7 thick-cut bacon slices.

Preparation

Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, and turn up the edges of the foil to catch the grease as the meatloaf cooks; set aside.

Place all of the ingredients except the bacon in a large bowl.
Using clean hands, mix everything until just combined (don’t squeeze or overwork the mixture).

Transfer the mixture to the center of the prepared baking sheet.
Using your hands, form it into a 9-by-5-inch loaf.
Drape the bacon slices diagonally over the loaf, laying them side by side, trimming as necessary, and making sure that the entire surface of the loaf is covered.
Bake until the bacon is just starting to crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F, about 50 minutes.

Set the oven to broil and broil until the bacon is completely browned and crisp, about 3 minutes more.
Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
