Despite all the rain we've been having  lately, we've been grilling outside quite a bit. To go along with the Grilled Eggplant with Tomato and Basil, we tried our hand at making grilled salmon on a cedar plank.  It was quite a treat for us and rounded out our Sunday dinner rather well last weekend.

We ate ours as a side with salmon that we also cooked on the grill.

We've been trying to grill as much as possible lately not only because it's delicious and a change of pace from cold weather cooking, but also because the girls can run around like crazy outside while we're making dinner.  What a reprieve from the usual blaring kids tv shows and bickering hungry siblings who are trapped inside at dinnertime.

I admit, I was skeptical about putting raw pizza dough on the grill.  I was certain it would just fall through the cracks and make a mess... but I was wrong!   We made "personal sized" pizzas by putting flattened raw dough straight onto the grill and flash grilling both sides.  The result was toasty, crispy, amazing pizza crust that we then added toppings to and continued to grill on a low setting until the (Daiya) cheese melted.

The dough was made ahead of time and frozen until we were ready to use it so this was a great weeknight dinner choice.






Enjoy!
