• Pour into bowl/jug (some used for basting, some for serving).
• Brush BBQ grills with oil. Then preheat to medium (or medium low for strong BBQ's).
• Drizzle salmon with oil, the place onto the BBQ flesh side down (skin side up).
• Cook for 3 minutes or until golden, then use tongs to carefully turn.
• Brush the flesh with Sauce, then close BBQ lid.

• As the fish cooks (3-5 minutes per side), use a brush and mop the marinade onto fish.
• Turn salmon a quarter (90 degrees) after a quarter of the way through cooking. (This will give it nice grill cross hatch marks).
• Flip fish half way though cooking. Add salt and pepper to taste to this side as well.
• Continue to baste the fish with marinade. (Try to use all if possible).
• Turn fish another 90 degrees after 3/4 done cooking.

• Feel free to make the marinade to taste. It should be sweet, and salty, and sour. I did not measure anything out when making this dish. I simply tasted it a few times until it was balanced the way I liked it.
