Note for Jeanette: Frozen peas and tuna would go VERY nicely with this recipe as would grilled salmon (yumm!). A dear friend of mine served me salmon that he caught in the Cascade Mountains that was divine! He simply places the salmon steak on foil, squeezes fresh lemon over it, sprinkles with brown sugar, and dots with butter. Closes the foil and grills. To date, his salmon is the best that I have ever had. {waving to Ken! Thanks Buddy and I miss you!}
