Salmon, fruit salsa, veggies, new potatoes, salad, ciabatta, and a Happy Birthday to me, Simply!


Cooking something beautiful and fantastic can be easy.  On my birthday a few weeks ago, my wish was to have a simple dinner at home.  So this is what we did!

We bought salmon steaks and wrapped them individually in foil and gave them each a dollop of butter, garlic powder, a slight touch of olive oil, and a good squeeze of lemon.
Next we sliced up a yellow crook neck squash and a zucchini and placed the slices in a foil bag with the same seasonings as above.  We closed up the foil bags tight then placed the salmon and veggies on the grill and closed the lid to let them simmer and steam.  Then came the fruit salsa,
This time we sliced up mango, strawberries, tomato, red onion, fresh mint, a delicate splash of lemon, and some apple cider vinegar. Pretty much anything goes.  Fresh pineapple too, I almost forgot!

I had some leftover boiled new potatoes which a sliced up in chunks and pan fried them in a little olive oil and garlic.  Then made up a green salad, and voila!  Simple absolutely delicious dinner!
