Equipment

mixing bowl
grill
Basting Brush
measuring cup
measuring spoons

Ingredients

4 8 ounces each Salmon Filets with skin on
⅔ cup Sweet Baby Ray's with Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce
1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
⅓ teaspoon Garlic Powder
⅓ teaspoon Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients listed above (except salmon) in a medium-sized bowl.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Use a brush to apply a thick coating of the bbq sauce to each salmon filet. Note: Be sure to check your salmon if you use a brush with bristles. Sometimes the bristles come out and you end up with bristles in your meal. I hate it when I find bristles in my food! Use a silicone basting brush as opposed to one with bristles to avoid this problem.
Place a sheet of aluminum foil over the grill grate then add the filets to the grill. Close the grill cover.
Cook salmon on your grill at medium heat for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. For food safety purposes, make sure you grill the salmon to an internal temperature of 145 F.
Remove the filets when they flake easily with a fork.

Notes

Alternative Cooking Method:

In case it's cold and rainy outside or you just don't have a grill, here is a grilling alternative.

Turn your oven broiler on high heat with the rack in the center. Place your salmon on a greased baking dish and broil for 4 to 5 minutes. The method works really well and you may find that you prefer broiling to grilling.

Leftover Salmon?

Like most fish species, salmon doesn't reheat very well. If you have leftover salmon, my suggestion is to refrigerate it and later add it to a nice salad mix.
