Lemon BBQ Grilled Salmon

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"If you are a little nervous about flipping the salmon over during grilling, the filets may be cooked skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes with the grill top kept down while cooking, or if you grill a lot of fish, invest in a long handled grilling cage which locks the fish in securely on both sides and makes flipping the fish a breeze!"

This was okay but I felt that the barbeque sauce overpowered the fish. The sauce was good but think it may be better for chicken or pork.
