Tonight\u2019s Dinner in Minutes? Grilled Salmon with Olive Tapenade and Roasted Potatoes and Asparagus<\/i><\/p>\n

Grilled salmon with an olive tapenade garnish makes an elegant dish that takes very little effort. Serve it for the family or for guests during this Holiday week. Grill this salmon on a grill, stove-top grill or place it under the broiler.<\/p>\n

On a recent trip to Seattle, Washington, I had a chance to taste really fresh salmon.. As Chef Thierry Rautureau, chef\/owner of Rover\u2019s Restaurant told me, \u201cWith salmon like this you don\u2019t need to do much to it.\u201d He makes an olive tapenade, spoons it over salmon fillets and places them on a grill for about 4 minutes. The salmon was juicy, tasty and a real treat. I\u2019ve adapted his recipe for this salmon meal that we can make in minutes at home. .<\/p>\n

Olive tapenade is a paste made from olives, garlic, olive oil and herbs. There are many good varieties in the market.<\/p>\n

Roasting asparagus brings out the flavor. New Potatoes or Creamers are available in the spring. They are about 3\/4-inch in diameter and have a short season. They\u2019re a treat and I always look for them at this time of year.<\/p>\n

This meal contains 481 calories per serving with 33 percent of calories from fat.<\/p>\n
