Grilled Salmon with Spinach and Arugula

Good morning to all! Well we made it through another Monday and life is all good, and I hope everyone is doing great this Tuesday. It is smoking hot and humid here; this summer weather has been really crazy. So hot in fact, that my wife’s car tires left impressions’ in the garage; Crazy!! Anyway, I’m getting ready to go on a little trip, so I will be off the air for six days. I’ll be back next Tuesday with a vengeance. I ‘m wishing everyone a great week, and I’ll talk to you next then! Today’s recipe is super-fast; we’re talking about a 20 minute time frame, very healthy and fresh. It can be served with grilled chicken, salmon, or shrimp, all these proteins cook fast. So be careful, don’t over-cook them. So without further a due here we go. Always remember just have fun, and enjoy the quality time with your friends and family no matter how hot it gets!!!

Thank You
