Do you ever just get sick of the same old same old? I sure do. I have set meals that I make and I really have to stretch to get out of my cooking comfort zone. I mean when I like something, I like it and I just seem to make it again and again and again! For example, when I make salmon, I always make blackened salmon. I like the flavor and it just works for me. SO, after having the realization that I only make blackened salmon, I got an itch to try something new. I have been meaning to make some sort of Greek inspired dish lately, so I thought I would make my salmon using a Greek rub of sorts. As you know, John does not like salmon, so he got chicken instead. Both were really yummy!
You can use this marinade on chicken or salmon (I would say it is enough for about ½ to ¾ of a pound)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flake (optional)
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon juiced
- ¼ cup of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients and pour over the top of salmon or chicken. Marinate for at least 2 hours. Prepare by broiling, pan searing, or simply throw on the BBQ grill. You can serve your chicken or salmon in a grilled pita pocket with a yummy tzatziki sauce like the recipe found here.
