Fire Pit Salmon

This is one of my very favorite ways to eat salmon. It's so delicious!
Fire Pit Salmon

8 oz salmon fillet, 1/4 inch thick
2 Tbsp Miso (or soy sauce)
2 Tbsp fresh squeeed lime juice
about 1 Tbsp Lime or Lemon pepper

First of all you must make a large fire so you'll have plenty of hot coals at cooking time. It usually takes about 30 minutes for me to get my fire ready. About 10 minutes before cooking time, prepare salmon as follows: Sprinkle miso and lime juice all over both sides of salmon. Sprinkle lemon pepper all over both sides. Wrap fish tightly in heavy duty aluminum foil. When coals are ready (they should still be red hot but without flames) place the foil wrapped salmon on a bed of coals about 2-3 deep. Cook for 6 minutes, flip foil package (be sure to use heat proof gloves) and cook an additional 3-4 minutes.
