Mini Max tackles salmon

fsumble

Hi Guys,  My second cook on the Mini Max was salmon.  I followed a recipe found on this forum for the glaze, heated the dome to 450 degrees and cooked it direct with the skin side down for 8 minutes.  We have always cooked salmon in tin foil I DON'T KNOW WHY NOW!  This salmon was fantastic.  I was worried about the grill being so close to the coals, but no worries!  I added just a few pieces of lump to what was left from the 8 hour cook on Saturday (Pork butt).  The mini max was up to temp in 7 minutes which was amazing to me.    So far I am so impressed with the mini max,  I won't use my large egg unless the meat won't fit on this 13" grille. It heats up quick, uses very little lump and holds temp really easy.

I am probably breaking a major rule here because I forgot to take the photo before I got started (Please don't kick me off the forum!) but the photo shows how wonderful this was.  Feel free to look away if you must, I promise I won't do it again!!!

For the recipe, search this forum for, "Salmon swimming upstream".  You will find this link there:

I agree with JohnInCarolina,  we did not flip the salmon, we cooked direct at 450 degrees for 8 minutes, and then covered for a few minutes before serving.
