Grilled Salmon Kebabs

These lovely grilled salmon and lemon kabobs are delicious and easy to make – with mega omegas in every bite! Seasoned with fresh herbs, lemon, and spices and grilled to perfection.

This was last night’s supper, it was a beautiful night and we ate outdoors, oh how I love summer! I served this with a great big garden salad and everyone loved them – including my 3 year old which was a happy surprise for me.

I have so much oregano growing in my garden and I’m always looking for ways to use it. I came across this recipe on Bon Appetit^[1] and was intrigued because I would never think to combine cumin and oregano with sesame seeds. I also loved how the lemon sliced looked between each cube of salmon. This was fantastic and I plan on making lots of variations of this all summer long.

Honey-Soy Chicken Drumsticks

by Pam on October 2, 2013

My son loves Asian food so I went in search of an Asian inspired chicken drumstick recipe. I found one Very Culinary^[1] that sounded perfect and it used ingredients I had on hand – I love that. It look minutes to throw the marinade together and the chicken smelled fantastic while it baked. It was a big hit with all of us – the chicken turned out moist, tender, and very flavorful. My son most definitely approved of this dish!

Combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a large zip lock bag. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag and seal. Place into the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil then coat with cooking spray.

Lay chicken on the baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a cooked through. Brush the remaining marinade over the chicken every 10 minutes.

Sprinkle some fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, and green onions on top and serve with Garlic Rice with Green Onions and Cilantro^[2].

Sesame Shrimp

by Pam on October 7, 2013

I wanted to make something quick and easy using ingredients I had on hand for dinner. I found a recipe at Taste of Home^[1] that sounded perfect. I adapted the recipe a little bit by adding less sesame oil and fresh garlic. I was going to marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes but time got away from me and they marinated closer to 60 minutes. Unfortunately, that made the shrimp a touch salty, so next time I will only marinade for 20-30 minutes. Thankfully, the rice mellowed out the salty flavor and made this sesame shrimp great. I loved how simple this recipe was to make – perfect for a busy weeknight meal!

Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, and garlic together in a large zip lock bag. Seal and shake to mix the marinade well. Add shrimp to the marinade then toss to coat evenly. Seal and place into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and a few spoonfuls of the marinade then cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. Serve on top of rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion. Enjoy.
