Lime & Ginger Grilled Salmon
one 2 pound salmon fillet, boned, skinned and cleaned
2 limes
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons of fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons of butter, melted
1 cup of wood chips |
|
Remove the peel from the limes using a
vegetable peeler or a zester. Avoid scraping the bitter white pith. Mince,
peel and measure 2 tablespoons. Squeeze 1/2 teaspoon of juice and reserve.
Brush the grill lightly with oil. Light the coals or gas grill. Sprinkle
salt, peppers, peel and ginger on both sides of salmon and press gently into
the flesh. Refrigerate. Mix the reserved lime juice and melted butter, set
aside.
When the coals turn white, add the wood chips. If the chips flare up, mist
them with water. When the chips start to smoke, place the salmon on the
grill rack and cook, turning once, about 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until
the salmon is firm and just opaque at the center. Brush occasionally with
the reserved butter and lime mixture.
