How to Make Barbecued Fish Steaks

  1. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional) to the pan. Simmer for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Let the sauce cool completely.
  4. Pour the cooled sauce into a large resealable plastic bag.
  5. Add 12 (6-ounce) salmon steaks to the bag.
  6. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes, turning the bag every 20 minutes to ensure even coating.
  7. Remove salmon steaks from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
  8. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates.
  9. Place salmon steaks on the preheated grill, about 2 inches from the heat source. Grill for 3 minutes per side, basting frequently with the reserved marinade.
  10. Continue grilling for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
