Trying to eat healthy...

Austin Smoker

The She-E-O and I made a pact to start eating healthier, so there will be a lot less pork and chicken wings going through the old egg, but it doesn't mean you can't eat tasty grub.

This is a salmon recipe that I used to do in the oven quite a bit, merely transferred it into the egg on a raised grid and it was delicious:

- Marinate the salmon filets in 1 cup of pineapple juice, 2 TBS of lemon juice and 2 TBS of Cointreau. Throwing it all in a zip-lok and refrigerating for an hour works great.

- Combine 2 TBS Brown Sugar (Turbinado of course), 4 Tsp Chili Powder, 2 Tsp grated lemon rind, 3/4 Tsp ground cumin, 1/2 Tsp salt, and 1/4 Tsp ground cinnamon.

- Remove the salmon, pat dry with a paper towel and coat liberally with the rub mixture. Return to the fridge for 30 minutes

- Stabilize the egg at 400, rasied grid direct

- Put the filets on and egg for 12-14 minutes (for 8 oz filets)

- Use a fork for the "flake" test, and serve immediately! YUM!



Good eats!

Looks good. If that's eating healthy, I say go for it.

And BTW, I love the She-E-O thing. I know it's true here! :ohmy:

When I was cooking on the gas grill I'd typically cook a couple of 16 oz. steaks of indifferent quality. Now I cook one expensive 12 oz. prime boneless ribeye for the two of us and we enjoy it a lot more.
