For your next cookout hit, look no further than Brian Fulton无毛视频檚 BBQ Salmon and Macaroni Salad.
Fulton, a Larksville resident, is librarian at The Sunday Times as well as a local history columnist and co-host of Access NEPA无毛视频檚 无毛视频淗istorically Hip无毛视频� podcast. He无毛视频檚 also a phenomenal cook, and his recipe earned a $50 gift card to Riccardo无毛视频檚 Market, 1219 Wheeler Ave., Dunmore, for St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen, Scranton, through Local Flavor Gives Back无毛视频檚 Times-Shamrock employee series.
The macaroni salad recipe has been passed down through Fulton无毛视频檚 family, from his grandmother, Mary, and then to his mom, Mary Ellen, and her twin sister, Mary Ann. It was always served during holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and Fulton wanted to try his hand at it. As for the meal无毛视频檚 main dish, Fulton noticed salmon recently became more affordable, and he wanted to create a summery dinner that featured it.
Fulton advised those making the dish that they should cook the salmon for about two to three minutes on each side and watch it so it doesn无毛视频檛 stick to the grill. Flipping it can sometimes cause it to break apart, so Fulton suggested cooks use skewers to keep the fish together. He uses Dinosaur Sensuous Slathering Bar-B-Que Sauce, of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que restaurants, but cooks can use their favorite barbecue sauce.
无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 really up to your taste and whatever you like,无毛视频� he said. 无毛视频淵ou can be pretty versatile with it.无毛视频�
Family, friends and coworkers know Fulton for his delicious creations. He dabbled in cooking throughout high school but started to get more into it when he went to college at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire, where he cooked meals for himself and friends. Then, when he furthered his studies at Penn State无毛视频檚 main campus, his kitchen prowess began to flourish.
无毛视频淚 didn无毛视频檛 have the cafeteria to fall back on, and I was on my own during that time,无毛视频� Fulton said. 无毛视频淚t forced me in a way to have to learn and experiment with different ingredients. And I really enjoyed cooking.无毛视频�
Fulton无毛视频檚 dishes include Beef Stew, Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak, Chicken Pot Pie, Oven-Roasted Sausage and Peppers, Grilled Haddock, Macaroni and Cheese, Pretzel-Coated Chicken Strips and more that he shows off for his social media followers. Sometimes, it无毛视频檚 something simple like an egg sandwich with different kinds of bread, meat or cheese. That无毛视频檚 the most enjoyable for him.
无毛视频淵ou just use whatever you have around,无毛视频� he said. 无毛视频淲hatever cheese, whatever bread, rolls or bagels. It无毛视频檚 fun to mix and match and see what you can make.无毛视频�
He无毛视频檚 also big into baking, including Buttermilk Pound Cake, Banana Chocolate Chip Bread, S无毛视频檓ores Bars and more. Fulton loves to experiment with different favors and techniques, like making Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cake, which uses cereal milk in the recipe, or trying his hand at viral food trends he comes across on social media.
Whether it无毛视频檚 a dinner and all the fixings for family or homemade birthday cakes for co-workers and friends, Fulton is glad his creativity brightens spirits.
无毛视频淚 like making people happy,无毛视频� he said.
