BBQ Salmon Steaks Recipe • Elegant and Delicious! | Club Foody

 

In September, here in British Columbia, not only are there tons of fresh produce 🍒🍆🍅🥒 on the supermarket shelves, but we also have an abundant supply of fish. It can be sablefish (black cod), Pacific halibut, and rockfish, also known as Pacific snapper.
 
The most popular one here on the West Coast is definitely salmon 🐟. Highly available, it can be sockeye, Chinook, or Coho. It’s sold as whole, fillets, portions, or steaks. It’s either fresh on ice, pre-packaged, frozen (frozen-at-sea), smoked, or cured.
 
David and I love 💖 our salmon. There’s his famous Pacific Coast Salmon on the BBQ recipe, my Salmon Pie served with a nice Béchamel sauce, this elegant appetizer called Asian Cucumber Salmon Rolls, our popular Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce, the amazing Easy Miso Glazed Salmon, and many others.
 
Another one we like to make is our BBQ Salmon Steaks! Loaded with flavor, this fish is unbelievably tasty! With a gorgeous marinade used as a basting sauce 🥣 as well, this is a great recipe to serve at your next gathering.
 
Prepping the sauce takes 5 minutes ⏳ and it makes a generous cup…
I like using a measuring cup when making it, as it’s easier to pour into the resealable plastic bag without the mess. The ingredients that go into the marinade are just fabulous: maple syrup, hoisin sauce that brings a nice umami taste, rice wine vinegar for acidity, and sambal oelek for heat, just to name a few.
 
The marinade is poured into the bag with the salmon steaks. After being gently flipped a couple of times to nicely coat the fish, the bag is transferred to the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours. I normally chill for 2 hours ⏰.
 
Besides this BBQ Salmon Steaks recipe, when it comes to marinating meat, I always place the bag in a pie plate because of its sloped sides. The reason is that once the bag had a little hole in it and created a big mess 🧼🧽 in the fridge. As they say – “Live and learn”.
 
When ready to grill, the salmon is removed from the bag and sits at room temperature for 20 minutes ⌚ but no more than 60 minutes… it’s fish after all! Like any other protein, allowing it to sit before cooking helps it to cook evenly.
 
While the steaks 🐡 are on the counter, the marinade is poured into a small saucepan and brought to a gentle simmer. As soon as it starts bubbling, the heat is reduced to medium-low (or lower, depending on your cooktop) and kept warm until needed.
 
After generously oiling the grates with canola oil, and the barbecue temperature brought to between 450°F and 500°F, the fish is grilled for 4 to 6 minutes on the first side, depending on the thickness. Then it’s flipped and grilled 🔥 on the other side for 3 to 5 minutes, basting both sides with the warm sauce.
 
It’s all about preference. For a medium-rare center, the internal temperature should read 130°F. We prefer fully cooked, which is 140°F. Keep in mind that after grilling, while resting, the steaks’ temperature 🌡️° will continue to rise a little.
 
I like serving the salmon on a bed of rice 🍚, with some steamed vegetables next to it. For garnish, I sprinkle on some toasted sesame seeds and finish it with sliced green onions. There will be plenty of sauce therefore, I pour some into small dishes on the side for dipping.
 
These BBQ Salmon Steaks are amazingly flavorful! Easy to make, it’s a delicious meal to serve for backyard barbecues or family gatherings. With plentiful salmon around, don’t delay, and make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 this delightful fish recipe soon!
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Apple Cheese Pie Recipe • A Twist on an old favorite! | Club Foody

 

Who doesn’t have a sweet tooth 🦷 once in a while?
I do! I enjoy making desserts, but only when there are people coming over otherwise, David and I have to eat them all by ourselves.
 
Occasionally, I make a dessert just for us, and when it happens, I carefully choose because we’ll be eating it for a few days. During fall, there’s one I don’t even have to think about making, and it’s my Apple Cheese Pie!
 
When it comes to this dessert, whether guests are over or not, this is a pie I love to make. It’s so yummy! It’s our treat during late summer and early fall with all the beautiful apples 🍏🍎 we buy at the local orchards.
 
This recipe has a unique twist to it. I know many of you have a slice of cheese 🧀 along with your apple pie, but in mine, the cheese is actually in the pie with the apples. As much as it’s unusual, this gives the pie an incredible flavor!
 
Think about it…
The saltiness from the cheese combined with the apples, cinnamon, and other ingredients complements each other beautifully! It’s like a match made in baking heaven!!! It goes together like bread and butter 🍞🧈, peaches and cream 🍑, peanut butter and jam… I think you get the idea!
 
Homemade is the best, and if you want to make your own dough, here’s a recipe… Foolproof Pie Dough! I tried my mother’s recipe, and it was a disaster 😫! I’m serious, I could’ve injured someone with it because it was so hard. Then I gave my aunt’s recipe a shot. Same thing until this one. Now, this is my go-to pie crust recipe!
 
This delectably delicious Apple Cheese Pie is a yummy twist on an old favorite. Served with my scrumptious No Churn Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 🍦, it’s sinfully delicious in every bite! The next time you want to make an awesome dessert for fall, you know which recipe to try…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Recipe | Club Foody

 

I grew up with bottles of salad dressing and vinaigrette on the table. Very rarely did my mother 👱‍♀️ make an oil-vinegar-based vinaigrette. There were a few selections of Kraft bottles, and while my brother and I reached for Thousand Island, my parents opted for either Italian or French vinaigrette.
 
As a young woman, I did the same at first, but not for very long. Because I was on a tight budget and always hated monotony, I was financially 🏧 forced to make a few from scratch to avoid having the same flavor until the bottle was empty and buying another flavor until that one was gone as well.
 
Years ago, I completely gave up on buying commercial dressings and vinaigrettes. The reasons are very simple: it tastes fresher, it costs less, it’s quick to make, and finally, there are no preservatives or low-quality oils in it. I’m also in control of the amount of salt 🧂 and sugar.
 
So far, there are almost 20 recipes for both vinaigrette and salad dressing on the website. I still have a dozen more recipes up my sleeve that I will eventually share with you. In the meantime, here’s a new one…. my Creamy Poppyseed Dressing!
 
This condiment is so delicious! With a gorgeous combination of ingredients, this 5-minute ⏳ recipe is truly a must-try. It has a rich balance of sweet and tangy, along with a fun texture of poppy seeds popping in your mouth when you bite into them.
 
For making this recipe, I use heavy cream for richness, although whole milk 🥛 is an alternative option. I certainly won’t use 2% or 1%.; these two are too thin. Another ingredient that can be swapped is champagne vinegar for white wine vinegar.
 
Additionally, the vinegar can be cut in half with lemon juice 🍋, which brings a vibrant, aromatic citrus flavor to the dressing. I would use this combo when pairing with a salad that has berries in it, such as my Strawberry Salad.
 
Let’s talk about sugar.
When making a recipe that doesn’t require any cooking or heat 🔥, like this Creamy Poppyseed Dressing or even Whipped Cream, using powdered sugar is the only way to go. It blends nicely, dissolving instantly without leaving a grainy texture behind.
 
Although it can be used right away, I prefer chilling it for at least 1 hour and up to 5 hours ⏰. It allows the flavors to blend together. For the leftovers, store them in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. More than likely, the dressing will need to be whisked before serving.
 
I’m not sure if the main reason was financial or a way to rebel against my parents’ choice when it came to salad condiments, but this Creamy Poppyseed Dressing is just incredible! It’s quick to make, much healthier 💚 than any commercial brands, and it tastes BETTER… what else do you need?
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Croque-monsieur Montréal-Style Recipe • OMG! | Club Foody

 

A sandwich is a sandwich, you might say, but depending on which country you visit, each has its own favorites. For example, if you land in Cuba, you’ll have to taste their Medianoche or the famous Tripleta in Puerto Rico. When going to Italian bars, don’t be surprised to see Tramezzino served while enjoying a fine glass of “vino rosso” 🍷. In Asia, there’s the popular Bánh mì from Vietnam, Katsu in Japan, or Rou jia mo in China. What about New Orleans with its famous Po’ Boy sandwich.
 
I can go on and on, but if we focus on one specific country such as France, there are a few famous ones 🥪 you’ll find, like Croque-monsieur or Croque–madame and Jambon beurre. There’s also a Club Foody twist on one of them… my Croque-monsieur Montréal Style!
 
What’s different from the original one? Not much except I added one more deli meat: Montréal smoked meat… yeah baby! Also, some chefs use butter 🧈 while I use Béchamel Sauce – inside and outside… you’ll understand when watching the video. I know, I know! It’s not conventional, and that’s why I said that I put a spin on this classic.
 
This Croque-monsieur Montréal Style is so flavorful, and with the added ingredients, it makes this sandwich taste even better. When the weather is pretty warm, and you don’t feel like cooking a complicated meal, this is the perfect recipe for you. I like to serve it with a nice salad 🥗 and drizzle on some lovely homemade vinaigrette.
 
This summer, don’t compromise on taste and try this Croque-monsieur Montréal Style sandwich. As simple as it may sound, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by its flavor and understand why this is a popular item at most of the French Bistros in Paris, Québec, or… at Club Foody – now I have to open up a resto 🙄!
Bon Appétit!🍽

Shish Tawook Recipe • Middle Eastern Chicken Kebabs! | Club Foody

 

Give me some nice weather, and the chances are pretty high that I’ll be firing up the BBQ! I love grilled food! It can be anything from rotisserie chicken, kebabs, ribs, shrimp, fish, poppers, pizzas 🍕, burgers, hot dogs, vegetables, fruits, etc.
 
When it comes to kebabs🍢, I have a wide variety of recipes, like my famous Greek Ouzo Pork Kebabs published a few times in magazines, the classic BBQ Beef Shish Kebabs, and Turkish Kebabs, which are loaded with flavor, among others, including this featured one… Shish Tawook!
 
These kebabs are incredible! Marinated for 8 to 24 hours ⏰ in a gorgeous yogurt, garlic, lemony, seasoned sauce, the chicken pieces are so tender and juicy! These popular Middle Eastern grilled chicken skewers are very flavorful! It’s another tasty way to enjoy kebabs…
 
Shish Tawook is an easy recipe. Although it’s from that part of the world 🌏, the ingredients are easy to find. There are no “rare or exotic” seasonings in this recipe. After the marinating time is over, grilling takes 10 to 12 minutes at most… not too bad for such a delicious recipe!
 
For the marinade, I use plain yogurt, but it can be substituted with Balkan yogurt – the same substitution applies when making 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 the yogurt sauce. You can always use Greek yogurt, but keep in mind that it’s thicker. Either way, I serve the skewers with the yogurt sauce, the same one I use when making my Shawarma Chicken Kebabs, or Creamy Tahini Sauce.
 
In the video, you see me skewering the chicken pieces without any other ingredients. It’s because I like to serve them with a green salad and chopped vegetables 🥗 along with my Herb & Butter Rice. If you don’t serve it the same way I do, I highly recommend you add some onions 🧅, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, etc., on the skewers.
 
When I see some home cooks skewering meat tightly together, it doesn’t leave any room for the heat or flames 🔥 to get in between. The outside will be cooked, but the meat touching each other will be undercooked. Always leave a little space in between to allow the meat to cook evenly.
 
Tender, juicy, and very flavorful, these Shish Tawook are another delicious way to enjoy skewered chicken 🐓. This season, fire up your barbecue and grill these guys… they’re really worth a try! After making them, don’t be surprised if they become a family favorite.
Bon Appétit! 🍽
