Northwest sugar-cured salmon

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon Cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Freshly ground pepper
1½ pounds Salmon or bluefish fillet or butterflied trout
Corn husks (optional)

Directions

Cook the fish over a slow fire; if in doubt, let the coals burn down first.

You can use any fatty fish in this recipe: We like the results with bluefish and trout, too.

1. Combine brown sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper in small bowl. Rub evenly over fleshy side of fish. Wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours.

2. Heat grill. Grill, covered, skin side down, over medium-low heat 15 to 18 minutes (8 to 10 minutes for trout), until opaque. Turn fish over and grill, uncovered, 2 minutes more. Serve on corn husks, if desired.
