Nicole, darlin',
That is a grill, not a barbecue. Click into "According to Smoky" and read the "Glossary" to find out the difference.
Your fellow Canadian, and friend of mine, David Velajacic served this in Houston, TX a couple of years ago and it was delicious. It is in his book, "The Fire Chef" published by Douglas & McIntyre, Vancover/Toronto.
Filet the salmon, removing the pin bones with tweezers. With a sharp knife, cut two lengthwise slits, down to but not through the skin, dividing the fish into thirds.
Crush 6 cloves of garlic and combine with 1 tsp salt, 4 Tbsp, minced parsley, 2 Tbsp. dried tomatoes in oil, minced fine and 1/4 C. olive oil. Spread 1/2 the mixture on the fillet and into the slits, place on a preheated grill, close the lid and cook for 15 minutes at 350° F. Open, spread on the remaining seasoning mixture, close the lid and cook for 10 more minutes. Remove by separating the fish from the skin and serve on a bed of fresh spinach.
Have fun,
Smoky
