Ingredients:

• 1/3 c. tangy BBQ sauce
• Juice of 1 lemon (3 to 4 Tbsp.)
• Zest of 1 lemon, grated
• 1/2 t. cumin
• 1 T. soy sauce
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 1/2 to 2 pound salmon filet (skin on)
• Cooking oil

Method

In small bowl, combine first 6 ingredients. Rinse salmon and pat dry. Brush salmon with just enough marinade mixture to coat, reserving the rest for when the salmon is cooking. Allow salmon to set for at least 10 minutes. Apply oil to cooking grates. Grill salmon, flesh side down, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Carefully turn salmon. Brush with remaining marinade and continue cooking for 5-7 more minutes or to desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes: If you are not comfortable flipping the salmon over during cooking, it may be cooked skin-side down. In that case, cook the fish covered, with the grill lid down, for the first 4-5 minutes.

Number of servings: Serves 4 to 6.
