I wanted something simple for dinner tonight so I took a look in the fridge to see what I could improvise with. I decided I would try Bacon Wrapped Salmon. It’s hard to think of anything that bacon doesn’t make better so how could I go wrong?
I started out by frying the bacon for a few minutes. My reasoning was that if I cooked the fish long enough for the bacon to cook from raw, I would dry out the fish.
When the bacon was about 3 pieces of salmon. I seasoned them with Kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder and Italian Seasoning.Then I wrapped the salmon with 3 pieces of bacon each.
Then it was into a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Nothing hard about that.
I served it up with some rice and a spinach cucumber salad. A nice summer meal in about 30 minutes. Now I have to go flip a coin with MrsMista to see who gets to take the extra piece for lunch.
Enjoy!

I went to Wichita, Kansas last weekend and I did a lot of eating with some of my BBQ buddies. While I was there, Janet, the wife of our host, made an incredible Broccoli Bacon salad. I decided to try and recreate it last night without the recipe (silly me!) because I haven’t received my copy yet (nudge, nudge Mr. BBQ Grail!). Here is my approximation of this great salad.
Ingredients:
2 small heads of broccoli, chopped into small pieces
1 small red onion, chopped
1/2 lb. bacon, fried crisp and chopped or crumbled
Dressing:
3 oz. Miracle whip
1 oz. white wine vinegar
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp sugar
Put the first three ingredients in a large bowl that has a lid (yes, pull out your tupperware). Put all of the dressing ingredients in a separate bowl and mix well. Pour the dressing in the large bowl and put the lid on. Shake well untill all of the ingredients are covered. I served mine with fried pork chops and rice.
I’d love to hear how you served this recipe. Leave me a comment and tell me what you did.
Enjoy!
