1
side fresh salmon, boned but skin on (about 3
pounds)
For
the marinade:
2
tablespoons Dijon mustard
3
tablespoons good soy sauce
6
tablespoons good olive oil
1/2
teaspoon minced garlic
Light
charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil
to keep the salmon from sticking.
While
the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting
board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the
mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle
half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10
minutes.
Place
the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the
fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the
thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill
for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the
center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it
sits.
Transfer
the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved
marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the
skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or
chilled.
