How to Make Grilled Basil Salmon Steaks

  1. Combine marinade ingredients (see recipe below) in a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Place salmon steaks (about 6 ounces each) in a glass dish.
  3. Pour marinade over salmon, ensuring each steak is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  4. Soak wood chips (about 1 cup) in water for 30 minutes.
  5. Prepare your grill for medium-high heat. Just before cooking, sprinkle soaked wood chips over the coals.
  6. Lightly oil the grill rack to prevent sticking.
  7. Place salmon steaks on the preheated grill rack, 4-6 inches above the coals.
  8. Grill for 10-17 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste occasionally with the remaining marinade.
  9. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and basil sprigs before serving.
