Title: BBQ Salmon with Sundried Tomatoes
Post by: bcsixgill on June 19, 2009, 03:07:14 PM

I found this one at a local seafood store.  I recently made 3/12 lbs for 4 people and they ate every bite.  I’ve lost the original recipe but no need to be exact with the amounts.
Only heat one side of the grill and cook on the unheated side with the  lid down.

2-3 lb Spring salmon fillet
Decent sized handful of sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
Olive oil
Juice from one lemon
½ handful of parsley, finely chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped.
Salt to taste

Mix ingredients (except salmon), in a small bowel or cup.  Ad enough olive oil to make a moist paste.  (if using sun dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, don't add extra oil). Let sit for 2-24hours

Heat one side of BBQ,
Cut slits into the salmon almost down to the skin (do not cut the skin), about  1 – 1 ½ inches apart.
Fill slits with mixture, spreading any remainder over the top of the salmon if desired.

Place salmon on greased grill or perforated gill basket on the unheated side.  Close lid and cook until done, about 20 minutes.  Do not flip, only cook on one side.
Optional: add your favourite wood chips for more flavour.

I've done the same recipe but instead of parsley I used basil. It was awesome.

Would you add woodchips above the heat in a pan or indirect heat?
