~Grilled Haddock~

One day last week it was pleasantly warm outside.  Earlier that day about 1 pound of Haddock fillets had been purchased from our grocery store.  The day passed way too quickly and before I realized it, I needed to make decisions about dinner!  I knew we would be enjoying this seafood prepared- some way.  Exactly how I wasn't sure.  That was when our grill came in handy!  It was the first time this Spring that we enjoyed Grilled Haddock!  It is so easy to prepare and takes a short amount of time to grill.  A grilling basket/ container comes in very handy here!  A sauce is not needed to add extra flavor.  The Paprika and Thyme work so well here.

Haddock fillets will be added to our next grocery list.  If the day is pleasant outside, that is probably how I will prepare this seafood, again!

Enjoy!
Yummy!

Grilled Haddock Dinner

Grilled Haddock Dinner!

The sun is shining and we are surely making up for the chilly damp days of spring.  This AM I was unsure what we would have for dinner.  When I asked my DH, he reminded me of a blog - A Tasty Thought by JG.  It is summer and suddenly I remembered my top blog post of ALL time.  So, it was definitely a day to purchase the fresh "wild caught" Haddock in our local grocery store and find my grill basket, because it's outdoor grilling time tonight!  This recipe is very easy & yes, previously frozen "wild caught" Haddock also tastes great!

Sockeye Salmon - on the Grill

Sockeye Salmon on the grill.

A sunny day in Massachusetts! Temperatures in the low 70°'s.  The vibrant yellow forsythias & daffodils are blossoming!  Tulip buds are now visible!  Spring!  Tonight was definitely a great evening to grill "wild caught" Sockeye Salmon for dinner.

Originally, this was not in my dinner plans for tonight.  However, who can resist grilling seafood on a beautiful spring evening?  A 1 lb. fillet of "wild caught" Sockeye Salmon (previously frozen) was purchased at our local Big Y's seafood department and the grilling basket was located.

This is an easy, quick dinner that tastes so good!
