Looking for Some Low Sodium Summer Sizzle? Here’s some our favorite Grilling/BBQ Recipes

Cajun Chicken – Sizzling hot!  The same spices for blackened chicken can be used for grilling on the fire (instead of a cast iron pan). Mixed in advance,  our Cajun spices pack up nicely for car camping as well.  We typically serve this with a mango salsa (recipe below).

BBQ Beer Can Chicken Recipe.  Literally, this is one of our most favorite recipes. We had our neighbors over this past weekend and we barbecued separate chickens for each family.  Self-service could not not be easier – we “plated” each roasted chicken on a large carving board (the left-overs were taken home by each family) – making clean up a breeze!

Cedar Plank Salmon with Pluot Glaze.  Grilling on a cedar plank (one time use) is another fun and easy thing to do  - that adds a lot of flavor complexity.  If it’s your first time grilling with cedar planks, you’ll want to keep in mind that the wood at the lumber yard usually is sprayed with chemicals, making it unusable for cooking.  Be sure to use wood planks that are specifically marked “for culinary use”.

This simple baked salmon recipe can be adapted for the cedar plank (instructions on how to use a cedar plank are part of the pluot recipe above)

Freshly grilled oysters are our favorite!  Grilling oysters is a quick and easy!  We whipped up a simple ginger-citrus dipping sauce that’s pairs well with oysters.

Céleri Rémoulade (celeriac / celery root remoulade) makes a nice and refreshing alternative to coleslaw.

Tantalizing Mango Salsa!  Along with our favorite fruit based salsa recipe, there’s also a link to  ”How to Pick and Cut the Best Mangoes”

Grilled Pineapple Salsa. Grilling helps to bring out and highlight the sweet flavor notes, giving us more flavor.
