Mark made me the most delicious dinner the night before Valentine’s. I had planned to cook a romantic dinner but had to make an emergency trip to the eye doctor. While I was on my drive home Mark whipped up a delicious meal. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband!

Place 1 lb salmon in a foil pouch (Mark doubled it just in case) and add 4 Tbsp white wine, a squeeze of lemon and sliced garlic.  BBQ medium heat approximately 12 minutes until fish is flaky.  This could also we done in the oven. Photobucket
