MESQUITE SALMON

Mesquite Salmon image

Mesquite wood chips give this fish dish a smoky flavor. If using a charcoal grill, add wood chips directly to the coals. If using a gas grill, wrap the chips in a foil pouch; poke several holes in the pouch and place it on the rock grate. -Jeri Kilpatrick, Hoodsport, Washington
