Firecracker Salmon Steaks

"A delicious pellet grilled Salmon Steaks recipe, great for summertime barbecues and other gathers when good salmon steaks are on-hand. Firecracker salmon is boldly flavored with a sweet delicious finish. Start with 4 Salmon steaks (6-7 ounces each), skin on. Follow steps below."

Serves: 4

4 Salmon steaks (6-7 ounces each), skin on

 

Firecracker Sauce

1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar

1/4 cup Chili Sauce

1/4 cup Brown Sugar

5 Garlic cloves, minced

3 teaspoons minced fresh Parsley

1/4 teaspoon fresh minced ginger or ginger powder

1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional

In a small bowl combine the sauce ingredients. Rinse and pat dry the salmon. Let the salmon come to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Apply sauce liberally to both sides of the salmon.

Set the grill at 400°.  When the grill reaches temperature lay the salmon with the sauced side (skin) down on the grill. Brush the exposed side of the salmon with sauce and continue basting with sauce while cooking.

Cook for 4 – 5 minutes per side until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
