Wish you were here...

 Take a nice thin filet of any white fish (flounder here)....layer it with some paper thin sockeye salmon
and with some fresh rosemary, skewer some dry sea scallops......



Gently roll it up. Like so....

Spray a loaf pan (big enough to hold the rolls) with pan spray. Add a Tablespoon of butter and a fresh squeezed lemon or lime.....



Sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper and seasoned salt......and a bit more fresh rosemary....

Broil for about 8-12 minutes (watch closely)......while your are waiting...toss together a nice salad....


This is fresh grill roasted beets, blue cheese (crumbled) and chopped walnuts.....Rick drizzled this with Balsamic vinegar and Olive oil.....YUMMY!

We had some roasted corn and Lima beans I tossed together and Dinner is served!
