Notes
  • DONT turn the salmon, just switch to indirect heat to cook the top.
  • 8 minutes is not enough time for the thick part at 400F. I went an extra 4 minutes on that.
  • salmon: a tiny bit underdone on the thick part.  Maybe cook with the thick part inboard next time?  flavor was very good, better. with lime juice
  • broccoli: salt on the plate, cook a little more so it doesn't seem dry.
  • rice: wet, but pilaf salt and butter makes it yummy.
