Well, file this one under mishaps. First off, we have been out of propane for a few weeks, and neither Andy nor I have had a spare minute to take in the empty tank to have it replaced. Therefore, my attempt to make Barbeque Grilled Asparagus tonight was an epic fail. Going into my meal-making tonight, I knew full well that we did not have any propane, but I completely forgot about the "grilling" end of this recipe. This yielded some icy cold (although Andy still found it yummy) asparagus for a side.
Next, as I was moving my half of the salmon onto a plate to take a pretty picture for you blog-readers, the salmon awkwardly stuck in the pan, and my plate somehow caught the backlash of my efforts to release the salmon- sending the ceramic plate crashing to the tile floor below. Sorry, Andy. Nonetheless, despite my two mishaps, Blackened Salmon turned out pretty awesome. I used the same blackening rub that I use on my Blackened Chicken, but on the fish instead. The flavor was spicy and zingy, and definitely tasty enough to make me forgive myself for my blonde-moments of the night!
