For the first ten years of our marriage, we faithfully went out on a Friday night date. Then, life happened, and we had to make some budget cuts. Occasionally we would treat ourselves to a beautiful slab of fish or a nice cut of steak, and make it at home. Saved huge money and still felt like royalty. I like that. Well, it's Friday night and we are saving money once again. Tonight we found a lovely fillet of Steel Head Trout. It has become a favorite. Similar to Salmon, but it's darker, brighter color is wonderful and delicious. Seasoned with only kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper and drizzle of extra virgin olive oil-grilled over charcoal to perfection! (I know this great grilling guy, we call him Scooter.) It has the skin on, so grill first on non-skin side, flip once to skin side and that is your finish. I made a quick lemon caper dill sauce and I didn't keep track of amounts-I'm sorry. Lemon juice, sour cream, whole grain dijon mustard, fresh cracked pepper, dill weed and some honey. Accompanied by roasted asparagus and pasta salad. This meal is actually better than any restaurant fish we have ever had, and for $12.00, who could argue? By the way on Friday night "date nights", the kids get fish sticks and I don't even feel bad. I love my time with Scooter, just don't tell Scott.
