      Grilled Salmon with Sweet Red Chile Sauce

      by

      Ingredients:
      Four 7oz salmon portions boneless with skin on
      2 tbsp Texas Extra Virgin Olive Oil
      2 tsp kosher salt
      2 tsp ground black pepper
      2 tsp sweet red chile sauce 
      Instructions:
      Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat, between 450⁰F – 550⁰F. Brush the cooking grates clean and close the lid to heat.
      Generously coat the flesh side of the Salmon fillets with oil and season evenly with kosher salt and black pepper. 
      Grill the Salmon skin side down over direct high heat with the lid closed between 6-8 minutes or until the fish lightens in color, becomes firmer to the touch and the fillets can be lifted off the cooking grates without them sticking. 
      Turn the Salmon over, close the lid, and cook to 130⁰F between two and four minutes for medium rare or longer to desired doneness. 
      Remove and brush with chile sauce and serve.

      Funnel Cake with Berries

      by

      By George Geary | Certified Culinary Professional
      Makes 6 to 10 Funnel Cakes
      Supplies: 
      Electric mixer
      Stockpot
      Medium saucepan
      Candy/deep fry thermometer
      Pastry bag
      Wire rack
      Ingredients:
      Funnel Cakes
      6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
      1 cup of water, cool
      1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
      1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar
      1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
      3 large eggs
      2 large egg whites
      Canola oil
      Confectioner’s sugar
      Berry Topping
      Makes 2 cups
      1 quart of fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
      1/2 cup of granulated sugar
      A pinch of sea salt
      Directions:
      For Funnel Cakes
      Combine butter, water, salt and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour.
      Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes to cook the flour slightly and rid the mixture of a starchy, floury taste.
      Remove the pan from the heat and place the dough in the bowl of the mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until most of the steam has subsided, then add the eggs and egg whites, one at a time, until each is incorporated and a batter is formed.
      Pour 3 inches of oil into a stockpot and heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
      Place the batter in a pastry bag that is fitted with a round pastry tip no wider than 1/4 inch in diameter.
      Holding the pastry bag over the hot oil, push the batter out into the hot oil in a zigzag or spiral shape. Fry no more than 1 large or 2 smaller funnel cakes at a time.
      Fry the cakes until puffed up and golden (they will triple in size), 3-5 minutes, flipping every 30 seconds or so.
      Drain the cakes on a rack and cool slightly, then sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and Berry Topping.
      For Berry Topping
      In a bowl, combine berries, sugar, and salt. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
