If you love to make those lean, mean fat-reducing meals on George Foreman's grilling machine, then you are going to love this menu. The Hall-of-Fame boxer was invited on the “Today” show to share a few great recipes on his new grill, "The George Foreman, The Next Grilleration." Here are the recipes:

Recipe: George's Roasted Asparagus (on this page)

Recipe: Greek Style Chicken Kebabs (on this page)

Recipe: Speedy Salmon with Dijon Glaze (on this page)

Recipe: George's Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients
  • 1 pound medium to thin asparagus, woody stems snapped off and discarded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, preferably fresh
Preparation

George's favorite way to grill asparagus is also the easiest. This recipe gets the vegetable to the table in 7 minutes or less. Freshly grated Parmesan makes everything taste better and this is no exception.

Preheat the grill to high. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Grill the asparagus spears (in batches, if necessary, depending upon the size of your grill) for about 7 minutes until they have taken on grill marks and are tender. Serve hot or at room temperature, sprinkled with the Parmesan.

Recipe: Greek Style Chicken Kebabs

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 8 (8-inch) bamboo skewers
Preparation

These kebabs are George's eating philosophy on a stick: fresh, healthy ingredients, perfectly grilled, that can satisfy even a heavyweight-champion-of-the-world appetite!

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and onion and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Preheat the grill to high.
Thread the chicken and onion onto the skewers, reserving the marinade in the bowl. Grill the skewers (in batches, if necessary, depending upon the size of your grill) for 2 minutes and then brush with the reserved marinade; discard any remaining marinade. Grill for about 2 minutes more, until the chicken has taken on grill marks and is cooked through. Serve immediately.

Recipe: Speedy Salmon with Dijon Glaze

Ingredients
  • For the glaze
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • For the salmon
  • 4 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets, about 3/4-inch thick
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation

Salmon is a delicious way to get powerful, beneficial nutrition and great flavor on your table. It's one of the most popular American fish, and almost everybody loves its great texture and taste. This dish is foolproof, even if you've never cooked fish before. Serve it to the family or whip it up for company.

For the glaze

Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, mustard, and shallot in a small bowl. Transfer half of the glaze to another small bowl and set aside to spoon over the cooked salmon.

For the salmon

Preheat the grill to medium. Season the salmon fillets on both sides with the salt and pepper. Put the fillets on the grill (in batches, if necessary, depending on the size of your grill) and brush them with half of the glaze. Grill for 2 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze. Grill for about 2 minutes more. To test for doneness, prod an edge of the fillet with a fork. The fish should flake but the center will still be a bit rosy.

Serving

Serve the salmon either hot from the grill or at room temperature. Drizzle the reserved glaze over the fillets just before serving.
