GRILLED SALMON & HOMEMADE TARTAR SAUCE

4 salmon fillets
salt & pepper to taste
olive oil (for the grill)

1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. olive oil mayo
2 Tbsp. dill relish (or dill pickles, diced)
2 Tbsp. diced onion
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. dill
1/2 tsp. pepper

Preheat the grill to medium-high and coat with olive oil or non-stick spray. Dust salmon with salt and pepper to taste, then grill 2 minutes, flip over, and grill 5 more minutes. If you have a marinade for the salmon, brush it on after you flip the fillet. Mix remaining ingredients to make the tartar sauce, and serve on the side.

GRILLED PESTO CHICKEN

3 chicken breast fillets
2 Tbsp. shredded parmesan
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 Tbsp. basil
2 Tbsp. parsley
lemon juice – just enough to make pesto stick together
salt & pepper

Mix all ingredients (except chicken) to make a paste — adjust ingredients to taste. Slice fillets length-wise, about half-way through. Stuff with pesto sauce and put on soaked bamboo skewers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Grill and flip over half-way through.
