Asparagus. The salmon was frozen Coho Publix brand, first time I've tried it and it was delicious. I love this recipe. I used a bit more wasabi as it was Penzey's powdered that I mixed with water and it wasn't really hot.

The potatoes are linked, Charlie posted the recipe from Gourmet. They're really good, easy too, although I had a problem with them falling apart when smashed.

Also had my new favorite Chardonnay, Parker's Run, NOT from Walmart, lol. (Thread 14274)

Main Dish Sauce

Sauce

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

1 1/2 limes1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 1/2 Tbs wasabi paste; more to taste*

2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 6-oz skinless salmon fillets

vegetable oil for the grill

1. Prepare a medium-hot grill fire (be sure the grill grate has been

scrubbed clean with a wire brush).

2. Cut the half lime into four wedges and set aside. Finely grate the zest

from the whole lime. Cut the zested lime in half and squeeze the juice from

one half into a small bowl (save the other half for another use). In a

medium bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of the lime juice with the lime zest,

mayonnaise, wasabi paste, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine.

Taste and add more wasabi paste if you'd like a zippier flavor.

3. Run your finger along each salmon fillet to feel for tiny bones; use

tweezers or needlenose pliers to pull out any that you find. Season the

fillets lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the

mayonnaise mixture onto the salmon fillets and refrigerate the rest. With

your hands, spread the mayonnaise in a thin layer over all sides of the

fillets.

4. When the grill is ready, oil the grill grate using tongs and a paper

towel dipped in oil. Grill the salmon until crisp and slightly charred on

one side, about 4 minutes. Turn and continue to grill until the salmon is

just cooked through, another 3 to 6 minutes. Serve the salmon topped with a

dollop of the mayonnaise and a lime wedge on the side. Pass the remaining

mayonnaise at the table.

Cooking Tip: *You can find wasabi paste and powder at Asian groceries, or

try the Asian section of your supermarket.
