SIMPLE GRILLED SALMON

1 huge 3 pound slab of Costco FRESH FARMED ATLANTIC SALMON

(product of Chili~ color added through feed - an additional quandary to make you wonder ... hum)

3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

3 Tbsp. soy sauce

3 Tbsp. olive oil

3 cloves minced garlic

1 heaping tsp. dried thyme

1 heaping tsp. dried rosemary

juice of 1 fresh lemon plus the zest

Combine the above and slather over salmon for 30 minutes or until ready to grill it. Plunk the salmon on a hot covered grill for at least 8 minutes or longer, depending on thickness. Don't overcook. Though slightly red in center, it keeps cooking as it sets. You can always put it back on the grill ...
