Cooking Adventure! Salmon.

Seafood is great. But, when seafood is cooked to perfection, it's SPECTACULAR! One of my favorite seafood dishes is salmon. It's a fantastic fish that's healthy, inexpensive, and most importantly, delicious. So, I thought I would provide the little amount of followers I have, and anyone else who's interested, my favorite salmon recipe. Here's what you need:

  • .5 lb of fresh salmon
  • 2 small pineapple wedges
  • 1 bottle of Maggi: Sweet Chili Sauce

Now, I like to grill my salmon, but you can use a conventional oven. If using a grill, light your charcoal, or turn on the gas. You're going to need to get that sucker up to about 300 degrees. If, you're using the oven, preheat to the same temperature. While things are heating up, marinate the salmon by placing the filet into a plastic bag. Pour in about 1/4 of the bottle of Sweet Chili sauce, and marinate for 15 minutes.
While the salmon is marinating, dice up the two pineapple wedges.
After 15 minutes, the grill/oven should be nice and hot. Take your salmon out of the bag, place it on a sheet of tin foil, and spread your diced pineapple over the filet. I like to pour a little extra Sweet Chili Sauce over the filet before adding the pineapple.
You're almost ready to cook. Wrap the salmon loosely in the foil if you're taking the grill route. Just place the salmon and foil on a baking sheet (no wrapping needed) if you chose the oven.
Place the fish in your cooking device, and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes. The inside of the fish should have a light pink color when it's done.
After about 20 minutes, you should be ready to eat. Take the salmon out, place it on a plate, and add your favorite side items. Now that's what I call an outstanding meal!
