A neighbor gave me some salmon, so I decided to grill it up tonight

Rhonda made a salad, and we tossed the grilled salmon on top

Here's my story......

Thanks for looking!

Todd

A couple small tail ends of the salmon fillets

All the ingredients to brine the salmon

Brining in a ziploc for about an hour

Salad with grilled salmon, lemon flavored olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Salmon had a nice texture with a light cedar smokey flavor to it

Thanks Scar!

Rhonda is not a big salmon fan. 

The last salmon fillets we got from SAMS tasted kinda "Fishy", so she's a little nervous to eat it

These fillets tasted fantastic!

I'll be smoking some tomorrow!!!

Give her a hug for me and tell her we are kindred souls on the salmon. Only had it one time that I liked in at least 50 attempts from different cooks

Todd,

Since what I smoke is probably 90% Salmon, I love your post.  Might I ask what you used for a marinade?
