* Grilling Salmon

I personally cook over charcoal on a Webber. I love it. I know Green Eggs and Tragers are awesome. But I just prefer to work with things a bit more as I cook. So, I get the grill to around 450 and then place the salmon directly over the coals, skin down. I never flip the salmon. I keep an eye on it and turn in a quarter turn about every 3 minutes until it looks done. Sometimes I’ll drizzle it with honey just before serving. Top the salmon with lemon slices!

Toast ciabatta bread slices, mayo on the bottom, then salmon, then capers and onions! So good!
