My in-laws came over for dinner. I made cedar plank salmon for everyone (veggie burger for me). I didn't get any photos of the salmon this time. It's pretty simple. You take a salmon steak and put it on a 1/4 inch thick plank of cedar. Spread some brown sugar and black pepper on the top. Spread it thick. Grill the whole arrangement until it looks done. It's probably a good idea to soak the plank beforehand, but I forgot and so ended up soaking it in the sink after I'd spread the brown sugar atop the salmon. Oh, and watch your eyes, the cedar smoke stings a bit.I also make an aluminum foil tray and grilled some asparagus in it.
Since my wife and I just got back from a trip to Italy, we also made a Caprese salad. This is the simplest thing ever. Slice mozzarella and tomato, tear up some basil, and layer. Drizzle with olive oil. It's impossible to not make this look good.
I don't know if this applies to anyone else, but if so remember that your sister-in-law doesn't like tomatoes BEFORE she shows up.
