Restaurant Quality Grilled Salmon!

Tonight we got a gorgeous piece of salmon on the grill. Make sure to get antibiotic free. If possible get wild caught. You can get these 3 lb plus pieces of salmon at Costco or Sam's club pretty reasonably. A piece like this might cost $25 to $30. That might sound expensive at first, but keep in mind restaurant sizes are between 3 to 6 ounces normally. That means you're getting maybe 8 to 12 restaurant portions (or more) which normally would run you $15 to $20 each (or more) in the restaurant. I steamed up some broccoli to go with it and now we're talking!

Check out this beautiful result. Does this look like I'm starving????

Here's the marinade recipe:

This is for around a 3 lb salmon filet. You can half it if you like.

4 tablespoons lemon juice
6 cloves of garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons Old Bay

Soak for a day or two and then grill 3 to 6 minutes a side (depending on your preference).

Let sit for a couple minutes before serving.

Welcome 2019! 2018 was a huge success!

I told you guys a year ago, I was going to transform in an untraditional way. Well, over 40 pounds later, I couldn't be feeling better. Here's some of the highlights of the past year: I stopped doing cardio I go to the gym 3 days a week, but am in and out in under 25 minutes, and most of that is rest. I never sweat at the gym Ate more sweets than I have ever in my entire life Was rarely hungry and often had trouble eating all the food I was supposed to Am over 40 pounds lighter Have more muscle mass than at any point in my life Did my first pullups of my life All my vitals and bloodwork have vastly improved I'm including the link to my time with my doctor during my annual checkup. As you can see, he surprised me with a sweet trophy to take home! Just wait for 2019. This is when things are get even more intense! I'm ready for the couch and I'm ready for my cheesecake! Motto for the coming year: LAZY, NOT IDLE! ...

Preparing Food Ahead of Time is Key!

Preparing food ahead of time is key! And you need to make foods you actually like! And in my case I like grilled burgers so much more than the broiled or fried ones. So...if it's cold and dark....well it's cold and dark! DEAL WITH IT! LOL And by the way, these are organic and grass fed...just because you should. TIP: Don't make burgers difficult. For the best burgers, don't massage the meat (This makes the meat tough). Just form patties, slightly indented to help keep them flat. Then, right before it hits the grill, sprinkle the side hitting the grill liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Before flipping, salt and pepper the other side. Best burgers you've had, I guarantee! And the final result.
