Our Best Gluten Free Recipes for Grilling Salmon

     Salmon is by far my favorite fish, and over the years I have learned some ways of cooking it that are so delicious.  Fish recipes for the most part are easy to adapt to a gluten free diet. Several years ago my sister-in-law Vicki gave me the best recipe for fish I've ever had.  She picked it up when she was a bookkeeper for a fishing company in Seattle. 

 When I was at my daughter's last weekend, we barbecued some salmon. This wasn't some ordinary store bought salmon. My son-in-law's boss had chartered plane with some others into a remote fishing spot in upper British Columbia.

 The fish his boss had given them was from an over 40 pound salmon that he had caught!  Here's a picture of my daughter holding up that chunk that shows you how big that salmon must have been.


 My daughter made a change to our family recipe.   First I'll give you the original recipe from my sister-in-law:
