If you're a seafood lover, you're going to love this recipe for paprika lime salmon with peach summer salad and fire roasted potatoes. Check out the video to see all the exact steps, learn the inspiration behind the dish, and enjoy the beauty of our campsite in Oak Mountain State Park.

While the griddle heats up, prep your salmon, by seasoning with habanero chili powder, smoked paprika, herbs de Provence, and salt. You can also add some sliced limes on top of the salmon for an added burst of flavor.

Next, oil the griddle and then place the salmon, skin side down, on the griddle and let it cook until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through. Meanwhile, wrap the fingerling potatoes in foil and place them on the grill to cook as well.

While the salmon and potatoes are cooking, it's time to prepare your summer salad. Start by chopping up fresh cilantro, cherry tomatoes, red onion, peach, and avocado and placing them in a mixing bowl. Add a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then mix everything together.

Once the Paprika Lime Salmon is cooked to your preference, arrange it nicely on a plate, topping it with the Peach Summer Salad and nestling those Fire Roasted Fingerling Potatoes alongside. Of course you can use paper plates, but we love to be a little fancy with our Barebones dinnerware and utensils, to add a sophisticated air to any outdoor feast. Pair wtth your favorite white wine or berry infused iced tea.

Overall, this recipe is perfect for a summer barbecue or a weekend camping trip. It's simple to make and packed with delicious, fresh ingredients.
