Asian Garlic Grilled Salmon

Summer is here!

So why not get the grill out and have some fun.. :-)  It will be great to enjoy a dinner out in the garden with family and friends on this hot summer evenings.

What I have for you today is a secret restaurant recipe by Red Lobster - Asian Garlic Grilled Salmon served with a sweet and spicy Asian garlic sauce.  You can easily prepare this same recipe using swordfish or mahi-mahi.

Serve your smoke salmon with fresh vegetable salad - recipe at the bottom.
