If that is also not an option, I guess just get a regular steak or something. The secret to steak is salt. Plop it on a plate, salt it to death on both sides and then some, and let it sit there for a few hours. Now dump out all the useless water that's been chased out by the salt, brush off the extra salt (its job is done), sprinkle on some pepper/lemon pepper/garlic powder/whatever you want, and grill it until it's warm in the middle but still pink. Now let it sit on a plate (not the same plate it sat on raw, that's gross!) for 5-10 minutes. Now, and only now, is it ready to eat.
Or, if you're in a hurry, just grill some sausages. No prep, and pretty much impossible to ruin.  |
Salmon actually isn't hard to get neither is it expensive. It comes through the Ohio river which gets it flow from the Mississippi so we have access to most salt water fish.
Probably will try the steak though.
