Reviewed Salmon Kebobs with Quinoa and Grapefruit Salad
"I made this last night and would never eat it again, but my daughter and mom liked it, so I guess "2/3 ain't bad". I felt the grapefruit was too overbearing a citrus choice. I am not sure the grapefruit zest and ginger infused oil had any impact on the dish at all. I agree with bloomcrew, more oil was needed. Had there been enough oil remaining to cook the fish, the infusion may have had an impact. The recipe did not yield enough salad for 4 people, I was only serving 3 and there was only enough for my mother and daughter to have another scoop, if I had liked the flavor there would not have been enough to go around. The tender meat of the wild salmon I chose was too delicate for the grill, instead I used a non-stick skillet and skewered them post-factum. I also agree with shannalillywhit.. the quinoa needs to be covered. After the specified time it was not fully cooked, I had to add more liquid and cover it. P.S. a simple substitution of stock adds more depth to quinoa and rice.

"I also agree with shannalillywhit.... that the quinoa needs to be covered. This was the first time I cooked it uncovered and I had to add more liquid. P.S. why would anyone just cook quinoa with water when a simple substitution of stock would add more flavor?

"I made this last night and never want to eat it again. My daughter and mother liked it a lot so, as they say, 2/3 ain't bad. I thought the grapefruit was a very overbearing citrus choice for the quinoa. The grapefruit zest/ginger infused oil made less of an impact on the overall dish, in fact I'm not even sure it was worth the pidly 2 minutes of prep effort. I agree with bloomcrew_13026142, that more oil was needed and that if they alotted enough for cooking the fish (not just coat the salmon chunks) it may have made an impact. Grilling the salmon even on a heavily oiled grill caused the tender meat to get stuck, so being I selected an excellent cut of wild salmon I wasn't going to risk ruining such a precious protein. Instead, I opted for a non-stick skillet and then skewered them post factum. There was enough fish for 4 people but the quinoa was only enough for 2-1/2 people. If I had liked the quinoa/grapefruit salad there would not have been enough to go around for us 3.

"I never want to see Giada use boxed cake mix!!! If I wanted semi-home-made recipe, I would have hunted for a Sandra Lee recipe, which would never happen!
About Me
To me "The Good Life" is when I find a great recipe that tastes amazing, is a bit challenging, yet totally do-able. That's the time to gather a few friends and share the joy.
I'm also a bit of a food snob born and bread in Brooklyn, NY . I have to love it in order to eat it again.
