Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Place all ingredients except the salmon in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth.

  2. Rub the mixture over the surface of the salmon. Place the salmon on a baking dish and let marinate for 20 minutes.

  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. You can cook the salmon directly on a piece of foil or place them on a perforated grill grate used for fish or vegetables. Cook over indirect heat (away from the heat source) for 5–6 minutes on each side. The salmon is done when it reads 145 degrees F on an instant thermometer.

  4. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.
