Ingredients

  • 1 12-2 lbs fresh salmon
  • 4 -6 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 garlic clove (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2 cups soaked alder wood chips

Method

  • Prepare the outdoor grill.
  • Cut the garlic clove in half, lengthwise, and rub the fleshy side of the salmon with it.
  • Brush the fish with a little olive oil so that it won't stick to the grill, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place the soaked alder chips directly on top of hot coals.
  • Oil the grill, and then spread the rosemary sprigs on top of the grill.
  • Place the salmon, fleshy side down, directly on top of the rosemary.
  • Cover the grill, and cook fish for about 5 minutes.
  • Flip it after about 5 minutes and cook the skin side for 3-4 minutes, checking with a knife for completion.
  • It needs to reach a just barely opaque pink color throughout.
  • Overcooking this will cause it to become dry.
  • Serve with quartered lemons and a green vegetable, or salad.
