Salmón glaseado a la barbacoa

Ingredientes

• 4 salmon filets ((preferably wild with the skin on))
• 1 Tbsp neutral cooking oil ((such as canola oil))
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce ((plus more for serving))
• Chopped fresh herbs such as chives, cilantro or parsley ((optional))

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat grill to medium-high (400° F / 204° C).

2. 2

   Brush the salmon filets with a little oil and season liberally with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

3. 3

   Place the salmon skin-side down over the direct heat of the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Brush on a layer of BBQ sauce on the flesh side of the salmon and grill with the lid closed, brushing the flesh side with more BBQ sauce every few minutes until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 125° to 130° F (140° F for well done), about 10 to 15 minutes total depending on the size of the filet. Verify temperatures with an instant-read thermometer.

5. 5

   When the desired doneness is reached, use a spatula to carefully remove the fish from the grill. Sprinkle on some fresh herbs for garnish if desired and serve immediately.
