simple, healthy, and quite tasty

I promise I will start taking real photos with my real camera...the iPhone camera is just so convenient though!

In a dinner bind? Only have about 20 minutes until you just give up and get Taco Bell? No worries, I'm sure you have everything you need for a simple, quick, healthy, and what I thought was quite tasty dinner.

The Menu: Grilled rosemary salmon, steamed Brussels sprouts, and fresh tomato and basil bruschetta. Chardonnay is highly recommended.

The Plan: Heat grill to medium high heat. While this heats, chop and combine bruschetta ingredients. Throw the salmon on the grill. Pour some wine and season sprouts. Flip salmon. Steam sprouts. Enjoy!

Grilled Rosemary Salmon (serves two Adams)
2 salmon steaks, 2/3 lb. each
1 large sprig of rosemary (dried may be substituted, but fresh is the way to go if you have it)
salt, pepper, garlic salt

Season both side of steaks with salt, garlic salt, and a generous amount of pepper. Sprinkle both sides with chopped rosemary. Spray pre-heated grill with cooking spray and put salmon on. Grill about 4-5 minutes on each side until just cooked through (you can use a fork to peek in the middle of one). You should have some nice grill marks on each side, and the fish should be fairly firm to touch.

Bruschetta with Fresh Tomato and Basil (serves two Adams)
7 1/2 inch slices of a french baguette
1 1/3 large vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped (feel free to use other types of tomatoes)
1 1/4 inch slice of a large red onion, finely chopped
3/4 tbsp. olive oil
3/4 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp. fresh basil (1 tsp. dried may be substituted if you must)
1 small garlic clove half

Preheat broiler. Toss ingredients (except bread and garlic) together. Toast both sides of bread under broiler until slightly browned, remove and immediately rub with cut side of garlic. Just before serving, mound each slice with tomato topping.

Brussels Sprouts (sub roasted asparagus if you're not a fan)
10 sprouts (the tighter they look, the better)
salt, pepper, garlic salt

Place steamer basket over half inch of water and bring to boil. Add sprouts and season with salt, garlic salt, and a generous amount of pepper. Steam about 5 minutes until bright green.

Feel free to follow with ice cream. Enjoy!
