Grilled Salmon w Coconut Sweet Potatoes and Asparagus
I came home from work last night with a little extra energy so I decided to make Mr. Bear one of his favorite meals-grilled salmon. However, I decided to kick it up a notch with a pineapple teriyaki marinade and I added some fresh orange juice. We both love sweet potatoes so I roasted those up and hit them with a little coconut while they were still warm. And they got more love with a maple syrup drizzle. That might be my new favorite veggie. I'm pretty sure I could have eaten the whole pan. I had to quickly turn my attention back the salmon or the sweet potatoes would have been MIA. I flipped it over for a couple more minute and started on the asparagus. I just tossed them with olive oil, salt and pepper and charred them up on the grill. Super easy!
Mr. Bear was very pleased with his dinner. It was a nice night so we sat outside and enjoyed the first days of summer. We mainly sat in silence since we were devouring every bite of our dinner. You know it's a good meal when no one is talking. This dinner was a spin off of a delicious meal we had at The Wharf restaurant in the Cayman Islands in 2010. They had a grilled pineapple slice under the salmon, but other than that it was pretty similar. Granted, the view from our condo was a little different, but sharing a good meal with my sweetie pie was the same.
