Perfectly Grilled Salmon

Salmon, is by far one of my favorite meals.  I'm always looking for an interesting marinade and this recipe is a combination of a few.  I found the main recipe from pinterest and then added a few items from one my own marinades.  I love a little bit of sweetness, which comes from the honey and brown sugar and then the savory notes come from the balsamic vinegar.  You will love it!

For 4 salmon filets.

• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 6 tablespoons soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/3 c tablespoons honey
• 3 teaspoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Mix all this deliciousness together and pour it over your salmon.  Most people say to marinade for at least 8 hours, but I did mine for 3 hours and it was perfectly fine.

Throw your salmon on the grill (do not flip it, it will cook all the way through if you just leave it alone).  I normally keep mine on for about about ten minutes, but if you like your salmon more well done, then I would say to grill it for closer to 15 minutes.

  

Finish it off with some grilled veggies and here you go!

  

Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms

I was craving something unique and I'm a big mushroom lover, so my google search brought this recipe to my attention.  I have only made it once and it was delicious!

12 cleaned mushrooms (I used baby bellas)
1/2 cup chopped cooked shrimp
1/3 cup italian bread crumbs
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp salt
2 cloves of minced garlic
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Parmesan cheese for tops

Remove the stems from the mushrooms, but keep them, you'll need them!

Grease a cookie sheet and put mushroom caps on it, then chop up the stems and put them in a medium sized mixing bowl.

Next add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl of stems and mix well.  If it seems too dry, add more broth.  If too wet, add more breadcrumbs.

Next spoon the stuffing into the caps of the mushrooms, be very generous!  Finish the prep off by sprinkling parmesan cheese to the tops of these bad boys.

Bake 'em at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes.  The cheese will melt and they will be a nice bubbly brown.  Enjoy!!!
