I like Tuna or Salmon patties.  Eat them straight up or on a bun.

I have a small George Foreman. Perfect size for 2 sandwiches or 2 thick patties. They aren't good for a lot of things, but for a grilled sandwich or Salmon/Tuna patties, they can't be beat.

Oh yes !       We do that often on a dish  -or-  on a bunch it's your choice you can't go wrong with either.  Just use your favorite marinade or tartar or better yet nothing  extra on your delicious fish sandwich. 

i like my steelhead trout with my wife's Ina Garten inspired  "go to"  simple Dijon mustard marinade.  

Steelhead trout now just ahead of Salmon or other fish bur you can't miss with any of them  -and-  they are so GOOD for you  !

You can't go wrong with that.  Perfect straight up on a meat of some sort or the base of a sauce or marinade.  Hard to screw it up if you start with that.

As someone who has actually eaten the things, that recipe leaves out an important step IMO.  You then have to fry them up in a little bacon grease after the boil.

I remember back in Jacksonville, NC every Saturday in front of Gibsons store they would have them, the would barbeque them outside in a large area in the parking lot.  The whole neighborhood smelled like shit.

How about a  -GAMEDAY-  Opening Day  PIZZERIA-STYLE STROMBOLI  ?  WHY NOT !

You don't need to leave your kitchen to make a pizzeria-worthy stromboli. These "bake" perfectly in your air fryer! You see, the air fryer allows hot air to circulate all around the stromboli, which results in a crunchy-on-the-outside, yet tender-on-the-inside crust. Plus, there's all the molten meat and cheese filling too. In the end, you get to enjoy a really delicious, authentic-tasting stromboli! 

SERVES 4    COOK TIME only  10 MINUTES  !

Maxim's in Mentor makes terrific Stromboli's... The place is owned and run by former boxer Joe Maxim's family... Been a customer there for over 30 years from when they were on 185th street in Cleveland.

Me, I just like a London Broil sliced into lunch meat size by the local grocer sandwiched between Dave's Killer Bread called Good Seed with Ranch Dressing instead of mustard or mayo. Good stuff that for lunch or dinner on the go.?

Caprese-Style Grilled Cheese

I've made dandelion jelly - it's excellent. and dandelion tea - I add come in my green tea a lot of the time, and in my iced tea. and fried dandelion blossoms are a neat treat.

Next on my list - dandelion bread. So many wild plants that are very edible, and really nutritious. I've been collecting dandelion and chickory roots to roast and make coffee out of.

https://metrosource.com › trusted-root-chicory-root

Chicory and Coffee: The Civil War Embargo That Led to a ... - Metrosource

Southerners began creating coffee from chicory when the North placed coffee under embargo during the Civil War, and Confederates had to use their wits to get their java. Chicory is the endive plant's root — a perennial from the dandelion family, and popular in salads or found among passed hors d'oeuvres at cocktail parties.

*******************************

    I'll give an update on the bread.

Meanwhile, helpful hint on garlic. I had some garlic I bought - three clusters of em, and the last one was petrified. Totally dried out. I scraped with a knife, for omelets, but that was tedious.

  The garlic cloves were like rocks.

So, I got the idea to get my coffee grinder out (I make wild flour etc, haven't tried from acorns yet), and I ground up those rock hard garlic cloves. And I ended up with a lot of excellent garlic "salt". Lasts forever in a ziplock bag.  Later on I'll take all three whatever bulbs, and do it again. No waste.

Hungry for some  marinated  ︎  Grilled  Salmon  ︎  , mmm-mmm  !     

 

This recipe is for Ina Garten's  the Barefoot Contessa   "go-to"   salmon marinade.  This has become my favorite especially for the bigger, heartier fish like  SALMON or TUNA  filets.   It's so easy and you can get good at it with a little practice.  This will be on our grill tonight and in the future.

YIELD 4.  ACTIVE TIME 5.    TOTAL TIME. 34

INGREDIENTS

1. • 1 side fresh salmon, boned but skin on (about 3 pounds)
   • For the marinade: 
   • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
   • 3 tablespoons good soy sauce
   • 6 tablespoons good olive oil
   • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

 

PREPARATION

1. 1. ◆ Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking. While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces.
   2.  ◆ Whisk together the dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for ★10 minutes. Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in.  [ ★NOTE: we often let the marinade set on the fish in the refrigerator until we are ready to use it. ]
   3. ◆ Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits. Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. 
   4. ◆ Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
