Salmon and Halibut

Since it's summer time, I would barbecue the fish. There are two basic ways to do this - wrapped in foil or not.
Do you have steaks, filets, or whole fish?You can't put filets directly on the grill. They are likely to fall apart when you turn them, and you can lose half the meat between the grates. A "burger basket"
is excellent for grilling any kind of fish, and a "must" if you want to barbecue fish filets without wrapping them in foil.
If you want to wrap them in foil, do it just like you would do foil-wrapped fish in the oven. Simply lay each piece of fish on a sheet of foil, add seasonings, including vegetables, if you like, wrap tightly and grill over medium to low coals. The only difference between doing it this way on the barbecue and doing it in the oven is that you turn them over halfway through cooking on the barbecue.
If you don't want to wrap them in foil (I think unwrapped gives better flavor for a firm fish like salmon or halibut, and foil wrapping absolutely spoils ahi!) season, put in the burger basket, and barbecue. I like to marinate the fish first. Teriaki sauce is agreat marinade for fish. So is a lime-dill salad dressing or sauce, or a jalipeno-lime marinade, if you like it spicy. All of these can be purchased in bottles, or you can make your own. If you have a whole fish, arrange a few thinly sliced onions and other seasonings inside before putting in your basket.
Salmon, halibut or ahi steaks are the only kinds of fish I have successfully barbecued on the grill without a basket. They are thick and firm and not too large to turn easily with tongs or a spatula. Don't let them get over-done. Take it off the grill before it gets flaky. The outside should be a little flaky, and the middle should not look raw, but still hold together.
If you have any leftovers, find a recipe for crab cakes on the internet and substitute leftover salmon meat for the crab meat.

I just noticed someone else posted a salmon recipe in this thread Sounds great, if it's not too hot where you live to light the oven! BTW, I would use that recipe for the halibut!
