Why This Recipe Works

The biggest challenge in perfecting our grilled salmon recipe was figuring out how to remove the fillets from the grill in one piece. To prevent sticking, we first super-heated the grill, then brushed it very clean, and finally coated it with five to 10 layers of oil to build up a thick layer of polymers that prevent the protein in the fish from bonding with the grill grates.

  1. Combine all ingredients in medium bowl, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Rewhisk before serving with grilled fish.
