Once again.... WHATS COOKING?!

It's delicious, one of my favorite fish. Like salmon but more mild.

Exactly. Less fatty too. Doesn't leave you feeling bloated. Don't get me wrong - I love salmon.

MM - yes, I smoked it

We finally have a decent forecast. Somewhat cloudy, but mid 70’s. I’ll take it. So, I pulled the Ooni out for the first time this year. Wiped it down and fired it up to burn off the stones. Took about 20 minutes to get to a deck temp of 650 and a hood temp of 850.

we just got this...

I didn't even know they made anything like that bro'.

Smart. No having to get the ol' brick oven up-to-temp first.

Now here is some salmon. Smoked this up Thursday night at the cabin. I also grilled 30 shrimp. They didn't all fit on the 3 skewers so I just piled the rest on with the salmon. The can is sweet corn. This along with some instant mashed potatoes was all very yummy for my wife and I. Not my best picture obviously, just thought I'd share.

Salmon skin from the frying pan is one of life's great pleasures I reckon.

Only had it a twice thanks to my rabbit-food diet due to health, but oh man, how good is that skin?

 

[IndyWS6]

I cook salmon frequently, but never eat the skin. Not really sure why…

If you fry it skin-down in a pan and flip it for the last minute or two once the skin stops "sticking", well, it's Heaven bro'.

You're a cooking expert AFAIC so I assume you already know this.

I cook it skin-side down first to crisp the skin, but just never eat it. Just a quirk

It's like fish bacon.

Think i'll be making some steak tips, mashed pot and asparagus tonight.

More chicken for me

You won't see too many steak or pork pics from me due to my new Alpha-gal red meat syndrome diagnosis. Hoping a cure comes out soon (as in my lifetime).

Got to use our new pizza oven the other day. Pellet fed. First time using such an apparatus. Worked fairly well. Next time will go smoother. Mine was a supreme style with turkey sausage and turkey bacon on a gluten free crust. Yes, one side there is stuffed with mozz.

Not the prettiest pizza but it was damn good.

Do you have a laser temp gauge? I use one with the Ooni to verify deck and hood temps before tossing a pizza in the oven. Helps make sure the crust and toppings are done at the same time. I shoot for a deck temp of 500ish and a hood temp above 800 (give or take)…

You gotta learn how to make your hand into a temp gauge. My hand says this is 190.

I can judge streak that way - the pizza oven will melt skin…

^ I was actually - and got impatient



Here are some pics from my turkey hunting weekend with some buddies over April 25th extended weekend.


One guy did Chicken tacos first night. My brother from another mother did trout and shrimp the next night. Then another dude made Chicken tacos the following night. And of course Turkey on Saturday night - only 1 pic
I was in charge of grilled chicken thighs (in Wickers) and sides on the last night. And then I had leftovers all too myself on Sunday night.

Honestly, my leftovers + black bean goulosh is one of my favorite things to eat. Took some home and had it again Monday night
