    grilled lemon pepper salmon

    Well kids…when FRESH salmon fillets are on sale for $2.99/lb…there is just no passing that up! I do believe I had to pick my jaw up off the ground while standing in front of the fresh fish counter! I have N-E-V-E-R seen such low prices for fresh salmon fillets! So grilled salmon it is!

      My brother-in-law brought salmon to our 4th of July cookout. He grilled it and it was so yummy!

      This looks great. We hit up the salmon deal and stirfried it with some leftover snow peas from the farmers market and some teriyaki sauce. Awesome!

      Most days I feel lucky if I can get my family to eat veggies (other than potatoes and corn) at all, so your posts are always an inspiration to me…thanks! 🙂

      I was pleasantly surprised at the frozen salmon that I got at Aldi- last night we thawed it out and ended up broiling it instead of grilling because we ran out of propane. It’s only 3.49 for a pound of wild salmon, which is I guess supposed to be better for you than farmed salmon (more omega-3’s)… I will try to make fish part of our frugal eating plans from now on!
