I’m usually not the one doing the grilling in this family. Ok, maybe I’m NEVER the one doing the grilling in my family! It doesn’t mean I can’t, I just don’t have to! When we’re at home, Paul does the grilling and when we’re at my parents, my dad always does the grilling. 
 
Come on guys, I do ALL of the other cooking, I can take a break – can’t I?
 
See, even this super easy grilled salmon isn’t completely a break for me because I prepare the salmon all the way up until it goes on the grill! Hey, I just realized how unfair that is…
 
This was probably the easiest salmon recipe I’ve ever made and it tasted absolutely out of this world good! The citrus herb spread takes all of about 5 minutes to stir together, then you just spread it on the fillets, and give it to your guy to grill. Dinner – done!

I really love how quick this can be thrown together, and yet have it taste like you just ordered it at a restaurant for a fraction of the cost! Total score, am I right?!

    Love this salmon recipe. We eat salmon once a week so I'm always looking for something new. And since we love cilantro too, I think this one will be a winner at our house! PINNED!

    Sounds like a great dessert drink – can't wait to make one. I have been enjoying just iced coffee in the late afternoon but not with the ice cream and choc. sauce. Thanks for sharing the recipe – pinning.
