Bored with my regular dinner rotation, I recently reached out to my friend Brigitte to ask for a simple recipe recommendation (I follow her Instagram @ezpz.kitchen, and she is always posting videos and instructions for easy dinners). She had just made this easy BBQ rubbed salmon recipe for her family and it was a hit, so she shared it with me. Luckily, our kids love salmon so this was perfect for us to try. Since this meal is so simple, it also fits the criteria for an Easy Eats post, and just in time for the long weekend. We like Jasmine rice as a starchy side dish and I also added avocado to the slaw like Brigitte recommended. Give the salmon a try this Memorial Day weekend! Serve with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc- cheers!
