directions
- To prepare and butterfly salmon: Remove head, tail and fins from the salmon.
- Run a sharp knife down backbone until salmon opens flat.
- Remove backbone.
- If you desire you can scrape some of the scales from the salmon's skin.
- Wash the salmon well with very cold water; pat dry with a paper towel.
- Place fish flesh-side down in a dish, large enough to hold the length and width of the butterflied salmon.
- Combine all marinade ingredients; mix well and pour over the salmon in the dish.
- Cover and place in the fridge overnight or until ready to grill.
- When ready to grill, remove salmon from the marinade.
- Place skin-side down on heavy-duty foil, or if you are lucky enough to have a special fish grilling utensil, the kind that locks the fish in between two metal sides, you can use that also.
- Grill until flesh is "opaque" and the salmon flakes easily (about 20-30) minutes.
- Delicious!
