Barbecue Salmon

Barbecue Salmon is one of the easiest fish to cook, so now that it's Summer, get out that BBQ and let’s get cooking.

The firm texture of this salmon means that as long as you’ve prepared the barbeque properly it shouldn't fall apart - unless you’re my husband, of course who suddenly becomes the 'BBQ King' (aren’t they all) when the Sun's out quite forgetting that normally he has trouble making toast!

Anyway first a few tips on barbequeing salmon recipes.

• Make sure that the rungs on the grill are clean. There’s nothing worse than old bits of food burnt on the grill bars, not only does it leave a horrible taste but it will make the Salmon stick.
  

• Get that barbeque really hot. Use plenty of charcoal to build a really good fire that will retain plenty of heat.
  

• Let the flames die down until you can see that the charcoal has become white, it should take at least ½ hour - this is where many people make a critical mistake. You know what they say - Patience is a Virtue - or in this case Patience will help you cook food that you can eat, not the usual burnt offerings!
  

• As long as the Salmon (or any seafood or meat) is well oiled it won’t stick. Of course, it helps if you don’t prod it and move it around every 30 seconds, if you do you’ll end up with scrambled salmon which isn’t much use to anyone except the cat.
  

• Wait until the flesh is seared before turning it over.
  

• Only turn it over once. The best utensil for this is a wide, thin spatula, big enough to lift the whole salmon or fillet in one go. An alternative is to buy a grill cage, the fish sits inside it and makes the whole turning over process child’s play.
  

• Don’t salt anything before grilling. This will dry the fish out.
  

• If you're using a traditional Chargrill a good idea is to use herbs or flavoured wood chips thrown on the charcoal to impart additional flavour.

• Of course, if you're using a gas or electric bbq grill then try Rubs or Marinades for extra flavour when cooking your barbeque salmon.
