 Update 7/2015: This grilled salmon with thyme cream sauce recipe is the very first Girl Gone Gourmet post published in May of 2009. At the time I didn’t take any photos, so now – after 6 years! – I’ve finally got around to photographing the dish. I still love this recipe – it’s so easy to make, but tastes like something you might order in a restaurant. I hope you enjoy it, too! Only the photos have been updated – the text and recipe remain the same.

Grilled Salmon

Dan and I, like a lot of people we know, have really cut back on eating out and look for ways to create a restaurant experience at home. This past Sunday, after a quick trip to the butcher, we created our own backyard bistro. Rib-eye steak and salmon made up the menu along with a simple spinach, tomato, and goat cheese salad. The star of the evening was definitely the salmon– while simple to make, the final result looked and tasted great!
