sESAME-LIME SALMON

Serves 8

This simple marinade that enhances the flavor of salmon. The recipe is from "Barbecue Nation: 350 Hot-off-the-Grill, Tried-and-True Recipes From America's Backyard," by Fred Thompson.

½ cup rice vinegar

½ cup fresh lime juice (about 6 limes)

¼ cup toasted sesame oil

¼ cup canola oil

8 center-cut salmon fillets with skin on and pin bones removed

1. Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Place fillets in a large plastic bag and pour marinade over the top and seal the bag. Tip the bag to cover all of the fillet pieces. Let marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but no longer than 3 hours.

2. Heat the grill on high. Oil the grill's cooking surface. Let the coals burn down to medium-hot or adjust the gas grill burners to medium-high.

3. Remove fillets from marinade and discard the marinade. Place fish on grill, skin side up, and cook for about 6 minutes. Turn and grill another 6 minutes for medium, or to your desired degree of doneness. (If your fillet is less than 1-inch thick, cook 4-5 minutes on each side for medium.) Transfer to a platter and serve.

Nutritional content depends on amount of marinade absorbed and size of salmon fillets.
