Did anyone cook last night?
I picked up some sockeye salmon from my local store, along with some fresh asparagus. Brought the Egg up to approx 400F and preheated my cast iron. Applied a little bit of evoo to the cast iron and seared the salmon. The fish cooked very quickly at that temp. The asparagus spears were brushed with evoo and seasoned with salt, pepper and a little paprika.

Great cook.
And don't let @SGH goad you into an early heart attack. He just can't control his own portions and is looking for some company. I can easily spot this behavior because "it takes one to know one".XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

@sgh do they all cheer when you walk into the grocery store? Just kidding man. I wish I could eat like you. My brother eats like that and he is 6'0 155 pounds. I'm pretty jealous.1 large BGE, Spartanburg SC

I hear you brother. I have a colleague who occasionally brings Krispy Kreme doughnuts to work for a morning meeting. She saw how many I ate and eventually was bringing 2 dozen just for me and 3 dozen for the other 20 people. I've told her of my desire to cut down and encouraged her not to bring so many - and that I promised I would let everybody have as many as they want before I go into "eat everything in sight" mode. Now she brings 3 dozen and I only get 1 or 2 doughnuts. I find myself just pissed off and frustrated with that and I am actually much happier to just skip it all - so most days that is what I do...
Sorry for the derailment. Again, the salmon and asparagus look great. Maybe that's what I'll cook tonight.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

maybe it doesn't matter, but I've always been taught to cook skin side down first (grandparents always said that's the way to do it). i was told that when done this way you get the skin more crisp. does it actually make a difference in the end? Sometimes the things we are taught stick with us and they aren't always factual.
Oh and by the way the food looks awesome.

It is breakfast if it has an egg, right?

That looks great Craig. I have never had sockeye before. I keep hearing about it but I always seem to miss it when it is in season. I just added it to my Publix shopping list.
I made fried rice and veggies on the Blackstone last night. I won't pretend it was healthy, there was enough oil, butter, and sodium to choke a horse.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
Looks good Craig. We don't do asparagus enough but, do them the same way you did and really enjoy them.
@cazzy... that burger looks great!

Last nights sockeye. It's my rub smooth, turbinado, ginger powder and then a brush of Yoshidas at the end. Flesh down 400 direct for 2 min then skin down for a few more. Served with a spaghetti squash that was tossed with evoo, balsamic, some ground Italian herbs, black pepper and of course a crap ton of freshly shaved Romano (no pics). Yes, I know the Asian flavored salmon and Italian flavored squash aren't even from the same continent, but bit was good. -

I love Salmon. Had a freezer full from a trip to Alaska last summer but the kids needed a plug to charge their scooter and decided the freezer wasn't that important.......I cried.
Looks fantastic!
