Not trying to be a smartass, Nancy, but why bother with the grill? All
you are doing is steaming the fish? Grilling is a great way to do it.
Just rub it with some oil before placing it on the grill. Perhaps some
salt and pepper, with herbs and lemon stuffed inside. Don't forget to
slash the salmon three times on each side. Save the sauce for at the
table, if at all. If the salmon is really fresh, let it be with just
some lemon squeezed on top.
