Grilled Bourbon and Orange Salmon


I was never a big Salmon fan, up until a few years ago. I have quite a few delectable recipes… we’ll start off with this one (it’s amazing)!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup bourbon (use straight bourbon if you can, or something like Jim Bean)
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 chopped green onions
  • 3 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 4 (6 oz) salmon filets

Directions

  1. Combine the bourbon, orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, onions, chives, lemon juice and garlic in a large zip-top plastic bag, then add the salmon to the bag.
  2. Seal and marinate for 1 1/2 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
  3. Remove salmon from the bag, reserving the marinade.
  4. Place salmon a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
  5. Cook 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting frequently with marinade.

BBQ Beef Brisket


The Lawrence Family Beef Brisket ™ This wonderfully delicious recipe has been in our family for ages and if you do meat, then I highly suggest you try this out. If you would like to make this in a crock pot, you can simply throw all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and cook on low for about 9 hours. Ingredients

  • 5 lb 1st cut beef brisket
  • 16 oz can cranberry sauce with berries
  • 8 oz tomato sauce (I use Hunt’s)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 pkg Lipton’s onion soup mix
  • 3 tbsp sugar (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325.
  2. In a large pyrex dish, combine the cranberry sauce, tomato sauce, water, soup mix and sugar (if using) and stir well.
  3. Add the brisket, flat side down, and cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  4. Cook for 4 hours & baste twice while cooking.

Note: one of my family members likes to sear the brisket for 5 minutes on each side prior to cooking.
