Barbecued Alaskan Salmon

We eat salmon all summer long, and this is our favorite way to fix it. The mild sauce-brushed on as the fish grills - really enhances the taste.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 4 salmon steaks

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons butter
• 2  tablespoons brown sugar
• 1  garlic clove, minced
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice
• 2  teaspoons soy sauce
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 4  salmon steaks (1 inch thick)

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the first six ingredients. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Meanwhile, grill salmon, covered, over medium-hot heat for 5 minutes. Turn salmon; baste with the butter sauce. Grill 7-9 minutes longer, turning and basting occasionally, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
