Oil makes all the difference!

It was so nice out yesterday, I felt the only thing to do for dinner was grill! I had planned on making sliders or burgers but once again, salmon was on sale! What's been nice about this is that it's always different salmon! We got lucky yesterday with Alaskan filets.  I'm usually hesitant to grill salmon when there's no skin because it always sticks to the grill then falls apart but I overheard the guys at Whole Foods talking about how you HAVE to grill it because it's the best.  This time, I actually oiled the grill and it makes a HUGE difference! My salmon didn't stick at all! It was amazing! I decided grilled veggie kebobs would be a nice touch as a side. 

I didn't get the amazing grill marks on the fish but I also cooked it at a very low flame so it never actually touched the salmon.  This meal turned out pretty well though.  The salmon was delicious.  I marinated it in Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, which really isn't a BBQ sauce at all.  It's a little tart, a little sweet, and a little spicy.  There is a nice citrus/ginger flavor to it that I figured would go well with salmon and I was right! I think Alaskan is definitely my favorite between the three that we've had.  

To continue birthday celebration, I picked up mini cheesecakes, one key lime cheesecake and one coffee brownie cheesecake.  The key lime was definitely better, much much better.  The coffee brownie was ok. It had a weird texture that I wasn't too crazy about.  These minis are the perfect amount of dessert though. 

Overall, I'd say this was a successful meal :)
