Grilled Salmon with Tomato, Cucumber and Caper Salsa
Grilled Salmon with Tomato, Cucumber and Caper Salsa
The salmon can be grilled two ways. The first method requires a fish-grilling basket, which can be found at many cookware and barbecue stores (use one that's about 18 by 6 inches for this recipe). The second technique doesn't call for any special equipment at all — just a rimless baking sheet and a spatula.
