Smoked Fruit Infused Salmon

Smoked Fruit Infused Salmon-postWhat a tasty fruity treat this marinade is that my wife put together for salmon. In fact, I’m going to have to get her to add a little something else to it, and I’ll bet it would be a great fruit salsa that would go well with a lot of different foods. If you try this out, you’ll see what I mean after you’re done blending this together. It just seems more like a salsa than a marinade.

Either way though, it definitely put some nice flavor into the salmon. But of course, once it’s smoked, that nice smoky flavor puts it over the top. This one turned out very tasty!

Smoked Fruit Infused Salmon

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs fresh salmon fillet
    • Marinade
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 medium banana
  • 1 clementine, peeled and segmented
  • 1/2 cup 100% pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice

Preparation

  1. Rinse and remove the skin from the salmon fillets, and place them into a sealable plastic container.
  2. Put the pineapple chunks, banana and clementine into a food processor and pulse until slightly lumpy. Put this into a mixing bowl and add the pineapple juice and Chinese Five Spice. Mix thoroughly together and pour the marinade over the salmon in the plastic container. Seal it up and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  3. Prepare your smoker and get it stabilized at about 250° F. I used plum wood for this cook.
  4. Once stabilized, pour off and discard the the excess marinade and place the salmon on a (small hole) grill screen in the smoker.
  5. Smoke for about 40 to 50 minutes. No need to flip the salmon, but I generally flip it once. The salmon should be at an internal temperature of about 135° to 145° F to be fully cooked.

Grilled Spicy Venison Burger-postThis spice blend is so tasty, and adds such a great flavor to any burger. And if you’re like me, I love venison for the fact that it’s so lean, and would choose venison over beef any day!

This recipe is quick and easy to make. It just doesn’t get any easier than this.

Grilled Spicy Venison Burger

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground venison
    • Spice Blend
  • 1 teaspoon minced onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Preparation

  1. Mix the spice blend together in a small bowl, then mix the blended spices into the ground venison. Form 4 or 5 patties.
  2. Get a medium hot grill going. Place the burgers directly over the fire. These will only take a few minutes per side. You don't want to over cook it, as venison is so lean, it will dry out quickly.

Grilled Sausage Skewers

May 10, 2013

Sausage Skewers-postOne of my favorite meats for grilling has always been sausage. I used one of my favorites for these skewers, but I had to order them from a company in Texas and have them shipped to me here in Wisconsin. I’m using the Meyers Elgin garlic links.

You can certainly use your own favorite brand sausage of course, but just thought I’d mention the kind I used. The good thing about sausage is it’s ready to go. The seasoning is already in there, so no need to spice or marinate.

You can also mix things up by using different veggies, but I think the onion and bell pepper added a nice bit of flavoring into the sausage as it cooked on the grill.

Grilled Sausage Skewers

Ingredients

  • 3 sausage links (Meyers brand or your favorite)
  • Pearl onions
  • Bell pepper

Preparation

  1. Cut the sausage links in half lengthwise, then into 2 inch pieces and set aside.
  2. Cut up the bell pepper into about 2" square pieces and set aside.
  3. Skewer the sausage pieces, bell pepper pieces and pearl onions onto metal or wooden skewers, alternating the three ingredients. (Note: be sure to soak the skewers for about a half an hour if using wooden skewers).
  4. Get a medium hot grill going and place the prepared skewers on the grill directly over the fire. Turn frequently until done to your liking. This should take approximately 5 minutes.
