Chile Garlic BBQ Salmon
3 pounds whole salmon, cleaned
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chile sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger root
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 lime, juice & zest
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 green onions, chopped
First off make your grill really hot.
Then cut the tail and fins off the salmon, cut across the skin a few times… not all the way through, make them shallow cuts. Once you’ve done that put the salmon on 3 kind big overlapping sheets of aluminum foil.
Get out one of those things you mix stuff in… what are those things called again?… That’s right! A bowl. Get a bowl and stir together the soy sauce, chile sauce, ginger and garlic. Mix in the lime juice, lime zest and brown sugar and dump some on the salmon.
Fold the foil over the salmon and crimp the edges to seal it.
Okay, now go out to your grill. If you did something stupid and your grill is melting call pizza hut. If its not and you’re using a char coal grill push the coals to one side, preferably not with your hand, and put the fish on the side of the grill with no coals. If you’re using gas turn the burners off on one side and put the fish there. Close your lid and cook for about half an hour. When its done, take it out, put it on a plate and open up the aluminum foil. Drain any of the juice that’s probably there and serve.
