GRILLED SALMON WITH CITRUS-FENNEL SALAD AND GRILLED ESCAROLE
Steps:
- Preheat a gas grill to medium-high or prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill.
- Brush both sides of the salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon, skin-side down, for 3 to 4 minutes with the gill lid closed. Open the grill, flip the salmon and cook and additional 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness.
- Meanwhile, brush the escarole with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. On a slightly cooler area of the grill (medium heat) place the escarole cut-side down, and grill until it begins to char and the leaves have wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with a squeeze of lemon juice; reserve.
- In a bowl, toss the fennel, fennel fronds, onions and orange segments together until combined. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice over the salad; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
- To serve, divide the grilled escarole among 4 plates. Lean a salmon filet on the escarole on each plate and top with the citrus-fennel salad.

GRILLED LEMON-GARLIC SALMON
A lot of people fish here on the shore of Lake Michigan, so I've developed quite a few recipes for it, including this grilled salmon recipe. I love it, and so do my friends and family.

Steps:
- Preheat a charcoal grill to high.
- Cut the salmon fillet crosswise into four rectangular pieces weighing a half pound each. Place the pieces in a bowl and add two tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Let stand until ready to cook.
- Put the sliced fennel, chopped walnuts, half the chives and tomatoes in a mixing bowl.
- Combine the lemon juice, walnut oil, salt and pepper to taste in another small bowl and blend well. Pour this over the fennel mixture and toss to blend.
- Place the salmon pieces on the grill and cook seven minutes, turning the pieces once or twice.
- Scatter the salad on an oval serving dish and arrange the grilled salmon pieces neatly on top. Garnish each piece of salmon with three walnut meats. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and the vinegar.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh, firm, and has a bright red or orange color. Avoid salmon that is farmed or has been frozen for a long time.
- Prepare the salmon properly. Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any bones or scales. If you are using a whole salmon, cut it into steaks or fillets.
- Season the salmon generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as dill, rosemary, or thyme.
- Grill the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and drying out. Cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served hot off the grill, with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled lemon wedges, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Grilling salmon is a quick and easy way to enjoy this delicious and healthy fish. By following these tips, you can cook salmon that is perfectly cooked and full of flavor. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give grilled salmon a try.
