Grilled Salmon with Vegetables

Any vegetable that you can steam on the stove can be steamed on the grill as well, as long as you wrap them in foil. Some of my favorites would have to be Bell Peppers, Onions, Zucchini and Asparagus.
Simply prepare the vegetables by rinsing them as you would before cooking them remove the seeds from the peppers and cut into quarters, slice the onions and just cut the tips off of the zucchini and slice in half lengthwise. Place the vegetables in a large piece of foil drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, add as many Garlic Cloves as you would like…Can you really ever have enough Garlic? I really don’t think that’s possible. I love Garlic!! Fold the foil up and around the vegetables leaving room for steam so you have just created a steamer.
Place the Salmon in foil add fresh herb sprigs such as dill, parsley, chives fresh pepper to taste. Close the foil just as you did with the vegetable packet and place both packets onto the grill for about 10 minutes.

This is a great time to sit and relax with a glass of your favorite white wine. A perfect choice for this dish would be a Pinot Gris.

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms…Super Easy and Light!

Grilling Vegetables can be a wonderful way to stay fit and healthy this summer. And the Portobello Mushroom is one of the best things to grill along with your vegetables. Portobello Mushrooms are often called the Steak of the Vegetables and can be a great meat substitute, full of flavor, packed with nutrients, low in calories and, well… just plain delicious! I like to rinse the mushroom and brush them with olive oil just before placing them on the grill.
Salt and Pepper sprinkled to taste
Garlic powder
and another drizzle of olive oil
Place mushrooms directly onto grill paying attention not to burn
Turn once, your muchroom should be semi soft
Remove mushroom from grill and brush them once again with olive oil and sprinkle with fetta cheese and more garlic
Return them to the grill and let cook aprox 4 more minutes
Grilled Mushrooms are excellent on a whole wheat bun with your favorite low calorie salad dressing

They can be brushed with your favorite BBQ sauce as well during the grilling process
