Healthy Summer Grilling Recipes You’ll Love
I recently teamed up with Charlotte Parent for Fit Family Challenge to give you healthy summer grilling recipes you’ll love! I gave the scoop to participates on one of our family favorite weekly and healthy meals, grilled salmon!
Fish can be expensive, but if you belong to a shoppers club like Costco you can get great quality fish at great prices. We simply thaw out pieces the night before and do the prep work 10 minutes before grill time. Dinner is ready in less than 25 minutes.
If you’re avoiding dairy you can simply modify the recipe by eliminating the Marzetti’s Lite Slaw Dressing and adding spicy mustard.

Wash filet in cold water. Pat dry. Check for occasional bones in filet.
Mix slaw dressing and spices in a small bowl. Then spread mix over the top of the filet. (the skin goes on the bottom). Put fish directly on outdoor grill which has been lightly oiled with Olive Oil or Pam Spray.
Cook over a medium fire for 7-10 minutes until fish begins to flake.Do not turn. Skin should peel off easily when filet is removed from grill.
Serve with rosemary new potatoes, grilled asparagus, or fresh corn and bell pepper medley as shown.
