Grilling salmon steaks without overcooking them or them falling apart is an art. The parts on the fish that look like little legs are called belly flaps. They are very thin, cook the fastest and are very easy to break when you attempt to turn or lift the steaks. The secret to grilling salmon steaks is to even the steaks out so they are round. When this is done, the fish will cook more evenly and are less likely to fall apart when turned.

SAUTÉED ASPARAGUS

Whole asparagus spears are the epitome of spring. However, sautéed asparagus seems not as popular as grilled or blanched, but they should be as they taste just as good.

It helps cleanse kidneys, helps with high blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, and keeps bones strong.

Drizzling a sauce, such as tarragon and lemon aioli or hollandaise on top makes a nice change.
