Grilled Salmon with sauteed spinach and mashed potatoes.
I marinated the salmon for a few hours in a marinade that took me approximately 2 seconds to make…Paul Newman’s Sesame Ginger dressing.
Yes, folks…it took me 2 seconds to open the bottle. I learned this shortcut of using salad dressings as marinades from my mother, who likes to find the easiest way to make something taste good without having to work too much.
I decided to also add some freshly sliced ginger to the marinade as well.
Set up a large pot with water and cut potatoes.
Boil potatos until soft. Just like the infamous saying “Stick a fork in me, I’m done,” if you can poke a potato with a fork and it’s soft enough, they’re fully cooked.
Drain water.
Add 2 tablespoons butter.
Add 2 tablespoons sour cream.
Add salt and pepper.
Slowly mash the potatoes and add milk depending on how you like the consistency of your mashed potatoes.
Top mashed potatoes with chives.
Grill the salmon and ginger.
I don’t have a bbq, so I use a cast iron grill pan to grill things over the stove.
While grilling, slowly pour some of the marinade over the salmon.
Sautee olive oil and finely chopped garlic in a seperate pan and then add the fresh spinach. It will wilt very quickly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
