We put the coals of our Big Green Egg aside to create an indirect fire under the salmon. Using non-stick film, we have created a ridged surface for the salmon to lie on while grilling. We really like the taste of this salmon. This salmon has a tangy little Cajun kick, and the honey is the perfect sweetness for the overall flavor. This Blackened Salmon is the perfect recipe to try. Enjoy! diane
