BBQ: Place wrapped salmon in a preheated BBQ set to high with lid closed.  4-5 minutes on each side is about right for a medium sized sockeye fillet (about 1″ at thickest point).

Oven: Place wrapped salmon in preheated oven and bake at 350 for 12 minutes.

Camp Fire: Build your fire and let it burn own until you have a nice bed of hot amber coals. Place wrapped salmon on coals for 4-5 minutes for an average sockeye size fish. (about 1″ at thickest point)

That’s it … see told you it was simple! Now wait till you taste it! 😀

Hope you enjoy …….Susan
