GRILLED SALMON WITH VEGETABLES
Being an Alaskan, I am always looking for new ways to prepare salmon. I came up with this recipe and have had people who don't even like salmon tell me it's good. We usually cook this on our grill but I have done it in the oven also and it has turned out just as good. Practically within throwing distance of the Copper River, I prefer Copper River red salmon, however, silver and king salmon work great as well!

Steps:
- In a pot, bring the broth to a simmer and whisk in the grits. Rest the grits for 5 minutes to open, bloom and thicken. Add more grits if the consistency is too thin and add up to 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the cream cheese and keep the grits warm until ready to serve.
- Heat a flat top or pan over high heat. Remove the skin from the salmon, and then dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper, and then a little oil. Sear the salmon. When crispy on the bottom, flip the salmon. (The cooking surface must be hot or the salmon will stick.) Avoid moving the salmon around while it cooks, to create a crisp texture.
- In another hot pan add some oil, the onions and garlic, and saute. Add the blanched asparagus and tomatoes last to prevent over-cooking. Season with salt and pepper.
- On a serving plate, add a scoop of the grits and place the sauteed vegetable on top. Place the salmon on top of the vegetables. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the top, then serve.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Put the zucchini, bell peppers and asparagus in a large bowl and toss with a scant 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and scant 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette, making sure everything is nice and coated. Transfer the coated veggies to the grill. Add the onions directly to the grill and give them a good brush with the vinaigrette and olive oil mixture. Grill, turning the veggies every 2 minutes, until tender and well-marked, about 8 minutes. Remove to a serving platter.
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette for serving, then brush the salmon on each side with 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining vinaigrette; drizzle on both sides with the remaining olive oil. Grill the salmon for 2 minutes, then rotate 45 degrees and cook for another 2 minutes. After 4 minutes total, flip the salmon and grill on the other side for 2 minutes, then rotate and cook for 2 minutes more. Brush with some of the remaining vinaigrette while cooking if needed.
- Transfer the salmon to the serving platter with the vegetables. Drizzle everything with the reserved vinaigrette. Sprinkle over the feta, olives, and parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon if possible, as it is typically leaner and more flavorful than farmed salmon. If you are using farmed salmon, choose a variety that has been raised in a sustainable manner.
- Cook the salmon to perfection. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it carefully to avoid overcooking. The best way to cook salmon is to grill it over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables are always best, so try to use them whenever possible. If you are using frozen vegetables, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Season the vegetables simply. Salt and pepper are all you need to season the vegetables. You can also add a little bit of olive oil or butter for flavor.
- Serve the salmon and vegetables immediately. Grilled salmon and vegetables are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the salmon is still juicy and the vegetables are still crisp.
Conclusion:
Grilled salmon and vegetables is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the vegetables are tender and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
