PESTO SALMON (YUM!)
I like to do this on a Weber with mesquite charcoal.
Pile the coals on each side so the cooking is done indirectly. Spray the grill with pam or some similar product (remember to remove the grill so you aren't spraying the coals -which is very dangerous).
Melt 2T butter or your favorite margarine spread in a bowl, add a 1t basil pesto and mix together.
Put 2-4 four salmon steaks or a full side filet on the grill.
Coat with the pesto and cover the grill.
If doing steaks turn them in about 10-15 mins and again coat with the pesto mix, if doing a filet coat the top a second time.
In about 10-15 mins remove and enjoy.
Rice pilaf or wild rice goes well with this.
Save any leftovers to make salmon spread or just eat it cold, it's great.
