Here Fishy Fish!!

Theres so much to say about fish!! Well lets start at the beginning. .. I hated fish for the longest time! I loveeeed and still love to go fishing, but eating it before no way jose! The only other time Fish came up was my cousin Jessie's nickname "fish/fishie"!! Not sure I know why she has that nickname but there two refrences fishing and my cousin. The first positive fish encounter was thanks to Aunt Holly! Aunt Holly is my college roommates Aunt who lived close to Capital University and who had a boyfriend who looked like Bon Jonvi! Two amazing things...especially since Erin and I were obsessed with Bon Jovi. One day Erin asked me to go to her aunts for dinner and she was making Orange Roughy. OMG I was terrified LOL!! Well long story short I liked it. I then would eat the bass out of the pond my mom would cook, tried tuna steak (omg amazing want to buy these soon), then got really big into Salmon when I was going to the gym everyday, about three years ago. Once I met Chris he got me into Tuna..tuna casserole was my first then tuna patties which I will share my awesome recipe in time!! Chris also got me into Flounder (Sams club big bag!!) Tonight I decided to do Salmon.

Maple-Balsamic Salmon

1/4c orange juice or grapefruit juice
1/4 maple syrup (I used good ol Mrs Butterworth)
3T balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves minced ( of course I used 3....ok 4)
1T olive oil
4 pieces salmon. .*I did 2

Add everthing but oil and salmon to kettle. Heat to boiling, cook 5-6 min. Add the oil stir. Salt and pepper salmon the brush with glaze. Broil or grill 10 min. I flipped half way through cooking. Baste often.  I put it on top of spinach and almond salad using the sauce from the fish as dressing. Yummn I also made rice pilaf and added alil bit of syrup!! Very good!!! Must try!! I would like to introduce Mr. Wilson my fishy friend as well!! (In pic)
