Damn kids running their mouths meant that I was cooking for twice as many mouths, tonight. Ended up making 7 of the salmon steaks pictured, a heap of orzo with roasted homegrown/I made this pesto, some watermelon-jicama salad, and sweating my ass off doing all the prep/cooking/serving/cleaning up.
But hey, when smart, thoughtful neighbors hear that you love to cook, and show up at your door with a giant bag of fresh beautiful food, you thank them for the opportunity and you get to chopping.
Because it’s always worth it.
Just don’t let your kids talk to their friends about dinner, because shit might get out of hand.

Stop your complaining, Boi, and pass the filet mignon.

Like I said— I’ll cook whatever anyone shows up with, better than they’d pay some restaurant for.
I’m not complaining. Kids are healthy, and a couple of them got to hang out and be kids together, and the adults got to hang out and be adults together, and I got to cook food for all of them.
It was just a few more than was planned for.

Also, apparently it’s the salmon steaks that have completely transformed people’s idea of what’s good.
That’s pretty fun.

How’d you do the salmon?

Good job. After being a good communicator, it’s probably the best skill.

same question - (is that primarily garlic?) I really love salmon, (did a nice piece of coho earlier this week,) but I just do lemon juice and salt usually...

Miso-soy-ginger-garlic glaze, cooked in indirect heat until flaky about 1/4” all around, then reapply glaze, sear on salt block on each side for a nice crisp browning on the outside.
Keeps all the fat and juice in, but hard to take off the grill intact.

So damn good. I’m incredibly lucky that I have neighbors who ask me to cook, and bring good stuff.

Cooking is about the only joy I have left.

So good. I’m super lucky to have neighbors who ask me to cook and bring great food. I’m happy to do the work, if it means I get to cook something other than the everyday grind.

Based on the photos, if you were my neighbor, I’d be at your door every night at dinner time. That all looks freaking amazing, and I don’t actually like cooked salmon.
On a totally unrelated note, what’s your address?

I’m in Austin. Bring it, I’m always happy to cook something that isn’t the daily grind.

Full recipe, since I’m on my laptop and not the phone (quantities/ratios depend on taste and amount of fish— I had to scale way the hell up last night, and I always just wing it regardless):
-about 1 1/2 cups fresh-squeezed lime juice
-couple tablespoons honey
-tablespoon or so brown sugar
stir to mix/dissolve sugars
- about 1/3-1/2 cup ready miso (not miso paste, the stuff in the squeeze bottle)
- about 1/4 cup aged soy sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped/minced garlic, same of ginger
-big whack of coarse black pepper
-if it were just me eating it, I’d also throw in about 1/4 cup finely-diced serrano
