Chipotle Sauce Makes Smokey Grilled Salmon Sing

I don't know what notes you're whistling these days, but I am still on the second verse of "Summertime."

Even though the days are getting shorter, remember we still have a lot of nice evenings ahead of us.  And that means keeping the grill hot and smokin'.  If you're still stuck on the notion that smokey flavors mean baby back ribs and brisket, have I got a salmon for you.

The secret to this salmon's succulence is a holy trinity of flavors that come from:

a short soak in a salt/sugar brine.

direct grilling over hickory chip-charged charcoal

and a sauce made from chipotle chilies!

The result is one of the best grilled meals you will try this summer.  For the recipe for the whole shooting match -- from the brine to the sauce, click on this link:
