How To Make grilled salmon fillets with a maple-bourbon glaze

  • Step 1
    Prepair your grill for indirect heat. You will be grilling on the cooler side.. You want med heat. Coals on one side of the grill.
  • Step 2
    Check Salmon for any small or fine bones and remove them.. Brush fillets with olive oil on all sides, Or tuna, or any thick white fish.. Add a little salt and pepper.. Lay fillet on grill grate away from the direct heat. You will be grilling the fish for about 20-25 minutes Or until salmon is opaque. (If using white fish you will cook it for 15-20 minutes or until fish starts to flake.)
