GRILLED BALSAMIC AND ROSEMARY SALMON
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful and Beloved Asiatic Black Sisters!
A while ago I bought some Balsamic Vinegar for an Asparagus dish that turned out to be really delish. (Hey! I’m a poet! I know it. 😉 ) Anyway, I really love vinegar, so for this week’s meal, I wanted to try using the Balsamic as a marinade for some Salmon I plan on barbecuing.
As I have previously written, a vegetarian diet is perfect for human beings, although we can eat fish. Fish is from a different world of life. Fish is born and fish lives in the water of life. Fish is good for us. (HOW TO EAT TO LIVE). However, we must be careful when selecting fish for our meals, confining our fish eating to those fish weighing between one and ten pounds.
When it comes to Salmon, there are many different varieties that vary in weight depending on the species. According to the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, Pink Salmon weighs the least of all varieties, averaging 3.5 – 4.0 lbs. So this would, obviously, be our ideal choice. Our Beloved Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) recommended that we eat the smallest fish as possible.
There are other varieties of Salmon averaging less than ten pounds as well, however. Alaska Sockeye (Red) Salmon averages five lbs. and Alaska Keta Salmon averages eight lbs.
The species you want to avoid are Alaska Coho (Silver) Salmon which averages twelve lbs. and the largest breed, Alaska King Salmon, which averages 20 lbs.!
When dining out, be sure to inquire as to the breed of Salmon before ordering as King Salmon is the Salmon of choice for many upscale restaurants.
I found this recipe online for a Salmon marinade and I had all the ingredients (except the rosemary; substituting Italian Seasonings). I was thinking about trying the exact same thing, but wasn’t sure about how it would turn out, and I didn’t want to risk it coming out weird. So finding this recipe confirmed my aspirations.
GRILLED BALSAMIC AND ROSEMARY SALMON
INGREDIENTS
- 4 Salmon fillets
- Kosher salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 sprig fresh Rosemary, minced
Directions
- Season Salmon fillets to taste with salt, and place into a shallow, glass dish. Whisk together Vinegar, Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Garlic and Rosemary; pour over Salmon fillets. Cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.
- Remove Salmon from marinade, and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Cook on preheated grill until fish is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side.
I only used three fillets but I kept the measurements the same, with the addition of an extra Garlic clove. (I really like Garlic).
In Sha Allah (If It Pleases Allah), I’m going to accompany the Salmon with a side of grilled mushroom/onion/bell pepper Kebabs and maybe the delish Asparagus dish. Of course, we’re having Bean Soup and Honey Whole-Wheat Bread, as always. For dessert, Semifreddo.

***Later on that day…….***
OMG Sisters, this was the BEST Salmon I have ever had. I already preferred barbecued Salmon, but with the marinade (I let it set for about three hours) it was so succulent and savory. I was so proud of myself – AM so proud of myself. I’ve never been much of a cook, but being an M.G.T. has made my culinary skills comparable with the best of cooks, the ones that I know personally anyway.
The kebabs were equally good, especially the MUSHROOMS. I coated them with my butter and a little salt. I nearly burned them, but the juicy flavor just burst into your mouth, and all I can say is DELISH!

SUBMIT TO ALLAH (GOD) AND FEAR NOT

Chapter 17 Submit To Allah (God) and Fear Not |
Islam, the religion of entire submission to the Will of Allah (God). “Nay, whoever submits his whole self to Allah and is a doer of good, he will get his reward with his Lord, on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” (Holy Qur-an 2:112).
That and that alone is Salvation according to the Holy Qur-an. Fear is the number one enemy that is blocking progress and success from coming to the so-called Negroes of America. This fear causes them to grieve. The whole world knows the poor so-called Negroes of America have suffered and still suffer more grief and sorrow than any people on the earth! This fear is the fear of the slave-masters (white man) and what the slave-masters dislike. Let the so-called Negroes submit to Allah (God) and they will not fear anymore, nor will they grieve. As it is written: “The fear of man bringeth a snare.” (Proverbs: 29). It has surely snared the so-called Negroes.
The Lord of the Worlds, Finder of we, the lost members of the Asiatic Black Nation for 400 years, Said that the slave-masters put fear in our Fathers when they were babies. Allah is the only one that can remove this fear from us, but He will not remove it from us until we submit to His Will, not our will, and fear Him and Him alone. Then, as it is written, “And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from sorrow and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve.” (Isaiah 14:3). There are so many places that I could point out in the Bible and Holy Qur-an that warn us of fearing our enemies above or equal to the fear of Allah (God ). It is a fool who has greater fear of the devils (white man) than Allah who has the power to destroy the devils and their followers (Rev. 21:8; Holy Qur-an 7:18 and 15:43).
We must remember that if Islam means entire submission to the Will of Allah, that and that alone is the True religion of Allah. Do not you and your religious teachers and the Prophets of old teach that the only way to receive God’s help or Guidance is to submit to His Will! -then WHY NOT ISLAM! It ( Islam) is the true religion of Allah and the ONLY way to success

THE SO-CALLED NEGROES’ SALVATION

Chapter 15 The So-called Negroes Salvation
|
The number one principle of belief is that your God is one God and beside Him you have no other god that can help you. I shall begin with this, the most important of all principles of belief.
How many non-Muslims will we find who do not believe in God as being One God? Regardless of the trinity belief practiced by the Christians, they (the Christians) claim and agree that Allah (God) is One God. They make fools of themselves when they reject Islam and the Muslims’ five principles of belief: One God, His Prophets, His Books, the Resurrection, The Judgment. How, then, did they (the Christians) go astray believing in three Gods? Nevertheless, they make one of the three the Father of the other two – and these remaining two the equal of the Father.
The so-called Negroes have been led into the gravest of errors in the knowledge of God (Allah) and the true religion (Islam) by their white slave-masters. They (the so-called Negroes) have been robbed more than any other people on the planet Earth. If they will only read and listen to the simplest of truths of which I write and speak have three essentials in it: power, light and life.
“I am a mortal like you – it is revealed to me that your God is One God.” (18:110) Will you not bear witness with Muhammad in the above quoted chapter and verse of the Holy Qur-an?
The white race will not agree with Muhammad and the true religion of God (Allah), which is Islam because of the nature in which they were created, – as they are the opposers of Allah and the Truth. They (white people) know that the so-called Negroes believe in them, but with the help of my God (Allah) – Who Came in the Person of Master W.F. Muhammad we will show up the false with the truth in its plainest simplest form.
It is foolish to believe in three gods – foolish to make Jesus the son and the equal of his Father (the one of 2,000 years ago). If Jesus said in his suffering “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” (Matt. 27:46) then most surely he did not recognize himself as being the equal of God, and no other scripture shows Jesus as the equal of God.
If Jesus said that he was sent (Matt. 15:24 and John 4:34), then he cannot claim to be the equal of his sender. God is not sent by anyone; He is a self-sender. He says in Isaiah (44:08-45:22): “Is there a god besides Me? I know not any.” In another place He states, “I am God, there is none else.” (Isaiah 46:9). Also, “One God and none other.” (Mark 12:32).

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful Black Sisters Living in HARMONY, 😉

I have NO worries, knowing that Allah is my friend. It is indescribably PERFECT PEACE. I go through my days perfectly assured that everything I do is going to be perfect, because it was written 15,000 years ago. All I have to do is SUBMIT to the Will of Allah, which is my nature! You cannot go wrong when you walk in the path of Righteousness. I walked past a mirror in my house and there was a little smile on my face that I didn’t even realize was there. I opened the curtains and the Sun was just making everything GLOW. The sky is clear. It feels like SUMMER!

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful and Beloved, HEALTHY-EATING Black Sisters!!! 😉
Our Beloved Messenger, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah forever be upon him) taught us in the only book that correctly teaches us how to eat (HOW TO EAT TO LIVE, BOOK 2) that “No meat is good for you except that little, young pigeon that has never flown from its nest, called Squab.“ Squab is the only meat on the planet Earth that is fit for us to take as a food.
Truthfully, I had never even HEARD of Squab before reading this epic book. I thought it was just slang for “fight.” Feel me? LOL You probably didn’t know it was a food either (unless you are intelligent enough to have read this book). 🙂
But, I do know that rich white people eat it. Here is a picture of Squab from the “Titanic” menu.
I also wrote in my other post that they serve it at the million-dollar, super-exclusive, U.S. Presidents-are-members, Jonathan Club too. So, I thought, maybe I should give this distinguished meat a second look.
I mean, I knew the Messenger (PBUH) said it is the only meat that is okay for us to eat, but because I had never seen it, I just became a pescatarian and didn’t worry about it.
But for those of you who really like meat, I wanted to give you some reasons why you should choose Squab over any other type of meat.
Whenever I begin a blog, I always look for visuals FIRST. It gives me a better knowledge and puts me in the mood to write. I always want to SHOW and PROVE what I’m talking about and “A picture paints a thousand words.”
If I told you, “The Squab is ugly,” I would be making the understatement of the year. The Squab is hideous. However, I WAS able to find some pretty decent pictures.
But I have to mention that the first pictures I saw were of whole squab roasted with the heads still attached to the rest of the body. IKR? It looked so gross. I’m getting nauseous just thinking about it. You can Google that yourself. I’m straight.
But I also found this cool book that was written in 1902!!!
“How to make a pigeon and squab business pay, details of building, buying, habits of birds, mating, watering, feeding, killing, cooling, marketing, shipping, curing ailments, etc.”
You can’t go wrong with old stuff. And Squab is definitely something old – in America, anyway. The Messenger (PBUH) taught us that when he went to Egypt, he saw TRUCKLOADS of Squab headed to the market for laymen and women to enjoy.
But, here in the good (and terrible) U. S. of A., they don’t eat it anymore. I’ve NEVER seen it in the stores. Most people have never even heard of it. AND I looked online to buy it and they cost about $20 for ONE!!!
I’m going to try it before I die, In Sha Allah, but I’ve been pescatarian too long to really crave land flesh enough to break off that kinda bread.
Anyway, here’s what I learned about the little Squab.
I think these are breeders because they look kinda old. I just posted it because the picture reads “perfect,” but true squab have never flown from the nest.
I think this is a little more accurate. The squab appear to be very small. The average size is about 12 ounces.
This description is from a website that sells them.
“Squab meat is dark meat, The Squab meat is very lean, easily digestible, and Squab is rich in proteins, minerals, and vitamins. Squab meat has silky texture, as it is very tender and fine-grained. It has a milder taste than other game animals and birds.
“Squab meats are succulent, tender, flavorsome and delicious.
“Squab are healthy low cholesterol, high protein, free range and natural.”
I edited it a little bit to keep it from sounding so commercial. I’m not advertising nothing unless I get a piece. Knawmean?
I’m going to buy The National Standard Squab Book, raise them (when Allah Blesses me to find some for sale) and offer them to my beautiful Black People when I open my restaurant. I know Allah will be pleased and BLESS me ABUNDANTLY. 🙂
Here is some more positive information about “Squabs” I found on a distributor’s website.
“Squab, or young pigeon, has been bred for food for centuries dating back to early Asian and Arabic cultures. The chronicles of history place Squab high on the list of delicacies enjoyed by ancient Emperors, Kings, Pharoahs, and Medieval Royalty. Squab is a culinary tradition long ago established throughout Europe, the Far East, the Middle East and virtually every corner of the world. Often said to be the “meat of Kings”, Squab today retains its rightful position on the menus of finer dining establishments everywhere. Squabs are being enjoyed by an ever increasing number of discerning people who appreciate excellence in dining, whether at home or away.
“Squabs are characterized by broad, full breasts. Parent birds, or “breeders” mate for life and share the responsibilities of raising their young. True Squabs have never flown. Dressed for market 4 weeks after hatching, the meat of a Squab is distinctly unlike domestic poultry or wild game birds. Dark, moist and flavorful, each bird is prepared for market before it is old enough to fly.
“Squabs possess a characteristic which allows them to retain more moisture during the cooking process than other poultry – the result being a very versatile and easy bird to prepare for large or small groups of people. Squab is known to be one of the most easily digestible of all meats.”

Chapter 16 ALLAH IS JUDGING TODAY |
Today is the day in which the God of Justice (Allah) is judging between man and man and nation and nation.
To understand the present, we must learn of the past.
We are 4,000 years from Moses and Moses was 2,000 years after the creation of the Caucasian race, or 2,000 years after the fathers of the Caucasian, or white race of Europe.
This makes 6,000 years from the time of the birth or grafting of the Caucasian race.
In 4,000 years of the white man’s rule they have practiced and exercised their power and authority over us as was divinely given to them.
The trouble is going on between the so-called Negroes and the American white people, who have always shown themselves to be the enemies and haters of their slaves, the so-called Negroes. This thing must come to an end.
So God, Himself, intervenes to make manifest the two peoples. Everything that is of good, according to recorded history, has trouble in its infancy, but as it grows, it triumphs in the end.
The so-called Negroes must know the truth. This is the only way to bring them into the light of truth as they are spiritually blind to the knowledge of themselves but God, Himself.
Prophets of God can only deliver the truth to the people. But to make them believe, see, and understand it and accept or reject it this must come from God.
It took the destruction of the people of Korah by Almighty God to make Israel understand that it was God who had appointed Moses to lead them and that self -made leaders such as Korah would not work in the way of delivering Israel another country.
Because Allah had chosen Moses to act as a guide for Israel, and all other self- made leaders would be failures.
He sent poisonous and fiery serpents against them to bite and kill those who rebelled. So this is a warning and a sign for us today: That when God intends to separate a people, or remove a people and put another in their stead, it is His work and the people who rebel against His work who will come to naught.
The so-called American Negroes must learn these truths today. That they cannot deliver themselves from the evils they are suffering from the white race without the help of Allah.
You see the trouble that our people and the American whites are suffering from the struggle of our people with a few whites on their side to bring about integration between the two races, of which is opposed by God, Himself. It is the time that the two people should separate.
