Grilled Salmon with Citrus Salsa Verde

So I was perusing salmon recipes and thought 'I bet that would be good on the egg'

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/grilled-salmon-with-citrus-salsa-verde-recipe/index.html

I made the salsa and set aside.  I was intrigued by the amber agave nectar.  Wasn't sure what it was so I figured I'd get some and see.  Its just a sweet dark syrup concoction.  I figured Ok, I'll try this stuff.  So after I rinsed some KING Salmon and patted it dry with paper towels I brushed this stuff on both sides.  That recipe called for salt and pepper.  Uhhhh, no.  I don't put any Salmon on the grill without Raging River.  Added it liberally.

I stabilized the Egg between 300-350.  I like to shoot for a range.  That way I don't feel bad if its not exact!  Then I put it on a raised grid direct for 30 minutes.  Did that cause its pretty thick.  If it were thinner I'd put a drip pan below the raised grid and shoot for a stable temp around 300.  But it went on and stablized itself around 325.  Perfect.

So after 30 minutes it looked like this when opened.  Then plated with corn and broccolette.  Saw the broccolette at Costco and figured I'd give it a shot.  We didn't really care too much for that one.  Regular old broccoli next time.....

    First, dinner looks great. Second, what's the story behind the blue egg?

    The salmon looks great. The blue egg looks better.

    Thanks! My understanding is BGE played around with different colors in the late 90's. They ran off about 200 or so blue eggs. It's a large.

    Looks like a nice healthy plate. Did that Tel-Tru come stock with your nifty blue egg? A collector's item for sure.

    Salmon looks and sounds great, love the Raging River on Salmon
    Wonder why BGE went blue and didn't call them Big Blue Egg?

    Dinner looks great!  That is pretty cool about the blue egg. 

    You can also use that Agave to make a great margarita and other cocktails ;). 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
