Ingredients

1 whole fresh salmon, stuffed with fresh dill, lemon, and onion, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste, and wrapped in chicken wire (or placed in a salmon basket)

Bring barbecue grill to maximum heat. Place salmon on the grill and cook approximately 10 minutes per inch, measured at the thickest part (usually 40-50 minutes total cooking time). To test for doneness, make a small incision in the thickest part near the backbone. If there is any visible transparency, the fish is not done. The fish is opaque when fully cooked. Serves 8-10.


Grilled Cole Slaw:

1 head green cabbage, cored
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
Salt to taste


Directions

Cut the head of cabbage into six wedges and place on the grill. Cook wedges on all three sides, for 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill and shred. Mix the remaining ingredients together and toss with the cabbage.
