Sockeye Salmon Grilled, coleslaw, corn-on-the cob, garlic toast points

We have been on a fresh fish roll.  When buying fish from the local supermarket, I only buy 'product of United States' after watching the tilapia episode of Dirty Jobs [start at 1:40].  Yikes!  So today I bought Sockeye Salmon.  The fish monger claimed Sockeye, being wild caught had a fishier flavor but if the Atlantic Salmon (the other salmon they carry) was milder than Sockeye, then it might not have much flavor. lol.

At HEB, you can buy Sockeye Salmon, wild caught, produce of the USA, by the pound or in 5 oz center cut fillets.  This time I bought two of the 5 oz fillets ($4 each) and had hubby grill them.  In prep for grilling, he rubs the fillets with olive oil, heats the grill (really hot), spray lots of non-stick spray (lots, I said), then put the salmon on skin side up. Cook it that way for two minutes, flip it, cook it for five more minutes, then slide it off the grill (without the skin) onto your waiting plate and eat it!   

I made another batch of Creamy Coleslaw, fresh corn-on-the cob and garlic toast points to complete the meal.

For the corn-on-the-cob, I dehusked it, removed the hairs, washed it, wrapped it in one paper towel and wet the paper towel.  I cooked two cobs in the microwave at the same time starting with a 5 minute cooking, then rotate, then cook for 3 minutes more.  Just before the salmon is ready, rotate and cook 1 minute more to ensure hot before serving.

For garlic toast, I used thin sliced HEB bakery bread with a crusty shell, soft center.  Spread margarine and sprinkle with garlic powder.  I placed in our toaster oven (can use regular oven) on broil till crisp and browning.  You can add cheese to have cheesy garlic bread.

Delicious.  Enjoy!
