Grilling with Fr. K…Salmon, a Summer Favorite

By Fr. Kilian McCaffrey, Pastor, St. Elizabeth Seton

In these warm days and evenings of Summer, a healthier, lighter meal option is to grill some fish. I love salmon, especially Sockeye from Alaska.

Ingredients:

A Side of Salmon (about 2 pounds)
Olive Oil
Montreal Steak Seasoning or Traeger Fin & Feather Rub
Butter and Garlic

Directions:

Set your grill to temp of approximately 300ºF.
Place salmon on aluminum foil and sprinkle with your favorite rubs
Coat your salmon in olive oil and then
Place salmon on the foil on your grill for approximately 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 117º or 118º
Glaze salmon with a butter garlic mix
Allow salmon to continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes or until the internal temperature of 125º is reached
Take the foil off the grill and let it sit for about 7 minutes before serving.

Serve with mixed greens, rice, pasta or potatoes. Absolutely delicious every time.

For The Love of Green’s

By Beth Lema

Summer time begs us to revisit the freshness of salads as a side dish or maybe even as a main entree on a very hot day. Growing up, my mother made all kinds of salads for my father and I to try, every night in fact as we sat down for dinner. My mother worked for a dietician at our local hospital, always trying new recipes before they were put on the menu for the patients. She was known as the Salad Lady. She learned to make hundreds of salads for all the patients’ different dietary needs. Well, I think I must have had them all at one time or another. I grew to not like salad for many years after that, even though I had many summer vegetable gardens in the Midwest, year after year. This year I have embraced salads once again. This summer I have tried new salad recipes and new twists on some of my mom’s favorites. My shared recipe for this issue is a Spinach, Strawberry, Citrus Salad. I have served this as a side dish and even as an entrée adding Chicken, Salmon or Shrimp. Dressings are a matter of choice, but I have found a poppy seed dressing or citrus vinaigrette works well. I’m sure my mother is smiling down from the heavens.

May your summer salads be fresh, crisp and full of life.

Enjoy

Summertime Spinach, Strawberry, Citrus Salad

Spinach, 1 bag, washed and drained
Fresh Strawberries, cored and sliced, approximately 1 to 1½ cups
Orange Segments, 1 can drained
Feta Cheese, crumbled to taste. Goat cheese and shaved Parmesan works as well
Red Onion is optional. Sliced Red Onions add contrast in flavor to the sweet fruits
Glazed Pecan optional

Mix and serve with your favorite dressing.Share this article:
