The nice thing about having a gas grill is you can walk outside, grill yourself up a little something, then wander back inside and, you know, eat it with very little fuss. There’s no planning, no charcoal chimney, no fretting about if the kindling is too wet or the wind will take out the flame. I love the convenience of it. I get that there are arguments for charcoal and I’ll concede whatever points you like to make, but I love the gas grill and I am not going back, you can’t make me.
I am growing two bunches of basil in pots in my backyard. It’s leafy enough to pull some off for sandwiches but it’s not quite a pesto making bumper crop. That’s okay, It’s making enough leaves to lay across grilled salmon after you mash it onto a nice grainy bread with a scattering of capers and a bit of Dijon mustard for bite.
Freshly grilled salmon sandwiches are proof either that simple food truly is the best or that god exists, you decide. Certainly a salmon sandwich is kosher, so if your god happens to be Jewish, you’re heading in the right direction for a better – no, maybe more observant? – life. Even if your god isn’t of the tribe, a salmon sandwich is a damn fine thing to have for lunch.
Eat your fish, it’s good for your soul.
I love salmon, I have a gas grill and I have a couple of small pots of basil in the backyard…this sounds like a recipe for me! 🙂
Yay! Interesting…
