STEP ONE: Honey-Mustard Glaze-- In a bowl, combine honey, mustard, water, and soy sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. STEP TWO: Prepare the Salmon Fillet-- Brush one six-ounce salmon fillet lightly with oil, season with salt and pepper. Grill each side for 2-3 minutes. Turn the fish over carefully only once to mark the surface; cook to desired texture. Brush flesh side of fish with glaze before removing from grill. Serve at once.
Grilled Salmon With Lemon & Thyme Yield: 10 Servings 4 lb salmon fillet,skinned 3 T cognac 1/4 c lemon peel,minced 2 T shallot,minced 1 1/2 T kosher salt 1 1/2 T sugar,brown 1 T thyme,fresh,minced 3/4 t pepper
Place salmon fillets on heavy large baking sheet. Rub Cognac over both sides of fish. Mix together all remaining ingredients in small bowl. Rub over both sides of fish. Cover with plastic wrap. Top with another baking sheet. Weight with heavy object. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill fish until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plates and serve.
Note: Bon Appetit recommends a sturdy red wine, such as a Beaujolais from Moulin-a-Vent. They also recommend serving with sauteed zuc- chini. You could also diagonally slice thickly some zucchini with peel left on and brush with butter, lemon and thyme mixture and grill next to the fish; a Griffo grill would help but if you sliced the zucchini thick enough and on a strong enough diagonal, I don't think you would have problems with it falling through the grill. Some fresh steamed green beans with butter and freshly ground pepper would also be good.
Grilled Salmon With Potato & Watercress Sal Yield: 6 Servings 3 lb small red thin-skinned 1 potatoes 1 c thinly red onion,Sliced 1 c seasoned rice vinegar 1 about 1/2 pound watercress 1 and crisped,Rinsed 1 salmon fillet,about 2 lbs. 1 T soy sauce 1 T brown sugar,Firmly Packed 2 c alder (or mesquite wood -chips) 1 soaked in water 1 salt
In a 5-to 6-quart pan, bring about 2 quarts water to a boil over high heat; add potatoes. Cover and simmer over low heat until potatoes are tender when pierced, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and chill.
Soak the onions about 15 minutes in cold water to cover. Drain and mix onions with rice vinegar. Cut potatoes in quarters; add to onions.
Trim tender watercress sprigs from stems, then finely chop enough of the course stems to make 1/2 cup (discard extras or save for other uses). Mix chopped stems on a large oval platter with potato salad alongside; cover and keep cool.
Rinse salmon and pat dry. Place, skin side down, on a piece of heavy foil. Cut foil to follow outlines of fish, leaving a 1-inch border. Crimp edges of foil to fit up against edge of fish. Mix soy sauce with brown sugar and brush onto the salmon fillet.
Lay fish on center of grill, not over coals or flame. Cover barbecue (open vents for charcoal) and cook until fish is barely opaque in thickest part (cut to test), 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer fish to platter with salad. Add salt to taste. Serve hot or cold.
