Step 1 - Pre-heat the Himalayan Salt Block on the stove or grill for 15 - 20 minutes before grilling. You are looking for a surface temperature of 350 - 400 degrees. A non-contact IR thermometer is helpful to check the temperature. Be sure to read all safety information relating to proper heating and handling of the salt block before using. 

Step 2 - Dice up the Papaya (1/3rd used for recipe), Mango, and the Kiwi and place into a mixing bowl. Next slice 1/3 lemon and juice into diced up fruit. Then add a pinch of salt and the honey and mix to incorporate. Cover bowl and place into refrigerator

Step 3 - Coat salmon fillet with olive oil and freshly ground five peppercorn blend on both sides

Step 4 - Coat surface of salt block with a light coating of olive oil, then place salmon fillet on top, skin side up and cook for 5 - 10 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3 - 5 minutes until your desired doneness is achieved

Step 5 - Assemble the dish by first laying the romaine lettuce leaf on the plate. Then slice six 1/4" thick lemon slices and place on lettuce leaf. Next squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top of the salmon, then add the tropical fruit chutney to complete the dish! Serve and Enjoy!!!

Pit Master's Tip: Make sure you cook your salmon all the way through. I recommend using an instant read thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145 degrees to verify its done.


Enjoy!

How to Make Himalayan Salt Block Grilled Salmon with a Tropical Fruit Chutney

Bacon Jam Pork Sliders with Dill Pickle Slaw

I had heard of this thing called bacon jam a couple years ago and it definitely intrigued me. Don’t ask me why it took me that long to actually make it myself - trust me, after tasting it, I’m wondering the same thing. Bacon jam is a great and simple way to elevate the flavor of your recipes. In this case, I am using it as a topper for my pork sliders. Pork and more pork. Need I say more? It’s the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The caramelized texture and rich flavor makes it the best condiment for so many different dishes, sweet and savory alike. Pro tip, put it on top of some vanilla ice cream and your life will be complete. Bacon jam is technically a relish, so store it in an air tight jar in the refrigerator and enjoy for weeks to come. And you WILL enjoy it! This recipe is one of a kind and a combination of some of my favorite flavors. You really can't go wrong with bacon or dill pickle, am I right? The slaw really brings a refreshing element to this recipe and in my opinion completes it, but if it's not your gig, you can do away with it. I used ground pork and made small patties for this recipe, but you can most certainly substitute pulled pork as well. With that said, get to cooking so you can get to eating! Enjoy!

Spencer's Lamb Minestone Soup

You may know Spencer from seeing him completing chores with the farm operations team, but around here he's also known for stellar cooking skills. Each month, Spencer graciously prepares a team meal on a day we all look forward to that we call "feastivities." Spencer has filled our bellies (and hearts!) with many delicious meals these past several months, and today we share one of our favs - Lamb Minestrone Soup.

Rosemary Dijon Chicken Thighs

When it comes to making meals for my family, I try to prepare dishes that are elevated in flavor, but will also be something that will interest my toddlers (and sometimes even my husband for that matter haha). Kids don’t always care for the fancy foods, but I truly enjoy introducing new ingredients to my family, and incorporating different elements to my recipes. So finding that balance is my mission in the kitchen. Chicken is like the most blank canvas you can get in the culinary world. It can so beautifully adapt to any flavor profile and can be cooked many different ways. It’s one my of most favorite proteins and I could eat it every day, truly. This recipe envelopes simple home-style cooking, while representing refined and gourmet flavors. The rosemary brings an earthy freshness, while the Dijon mustard adds a tangy kick. It’s completed with a rich buttery sour cream that just brings the whole dish together. If you’re looking for a perfectly balanced dish, this is it. I hope you enjoy!
