GRILLED SALMON, NORTHWEST STYLE

Steps:

• In a bowl, cover wood chips with water.
• Ignite charcoal (25 per side for 22" Webber Grill) for indirect cooking.
• Let coals burn down until completely covered with gray ash.
• Using a double thickness of heavy-duty foil, make a boat big enough to hold the fish.
• Poke holes in the bottom of the foil so barbeque flavors can penetrate bottom of the fish.
• Lay salmon on foil, flesh side up.
• Drizzle filet (s) with melted butter, using all of it.
• When coals are ready, scatter drained wood chips on top of them.
• Place salmon on grill.
• Cover barbeque; close top dampers halfway, leave bottom dampers open.
