For Your Labor Day Grilling Pleasure....

My husband's friend & coworker, Billy, gave him this salmon recipe. It's fantastic and a staple in our home! Besides being delicious, I love the versatility of it - I can serve it with grilled veggies and rice or over salad.

Salmon a la Billy (feeds approx. 4)

1 large salmon fillet, with skin - I usually get a 1-2 lb fillet for our family
Zesty Italian dressing of your choice
Soy sauce of your choice
Brown Sugar

Rinse fillet and put in a Ziploc bag; mix 1 cup dressing to 1/2 cup soy sauce; pour marinade over fish, seal bag and refrigerate minimum 4 hours, up to overnight.

Grill on indirect heat (M-O-M). Before grilling, lay a sheet of foil on grill & spray with Pam. Place salmon on foil, skin side down. Sprinkle salmon generously with brown sugar and then grill until thoroughly cooked (usually 10-15 mins). To remove fish from grill, slide spatula between skin & meat. Serve immediately.

Side dish suggestions:
Grilled vegetables
Rice
Salad
