THE SALMON BARBECUE RITUAL - DUANE STYLE

I found this recipe in an old "community" type cookbook, and just had to post it for you all.

Ingredients:

3 Pounds of Salmon Fillet
1/2 Teaspoon each, salt & garlic salt
1/3 cup of oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 to 3 Fifths of Bourbon
2 teaspoons of sesame seed.

About 30 minutes before putting the salmon on the bbq grill, pour yourself a stiff bourbon and sprinkle the salmon with salt and garlic salt. Bourbon consumption prior to this initial step may vary according to individual taste. Just before putting the fish on the fire, combine the salad oil, soy sauce and 1 fifth of bourbon.

If you have guests, pour each of them a bourbon and get yourself a double, since you are cooking.

The charcoal should be burned down until it is well grayed; but if you forgot to light the coals in the beginning, pour yourself another drink, memorize the phone number of the Fire Department and light the coals at this time.

The grate should be 5 or 6 inches above the fire, give or take a foot.

Pour yourself and your guests another drink, and place the fish on the grate, or as near as possible to it, flesh side down.

Turn it about every 7 minutes or whenever you remember it, whichever comes first. Don't let it stay over 2 hours on one side.

Baste your guests with the oil, soy sauce, and borboun mixture everytime you turn the fish.

Before you turn the flesh side down the last time, pour yourself another bourbon and spill the sesame seeds on the patio.

Ask your wife to call the Fire Department, offer any remaining bourbon to any remaining guests, excuse yourself and go to bed.
