Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 salmon fillet (3 pounds)
2 medium lemons, thinly sliced
2 cups soaked hickory chips
TARTAR SAUCE:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped sweet pickles
1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
3/4 teaspoon ground mustard

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine butter and garlic; cook and stir over medium heat until butter is melted. Drizzle 2 tablespoons butter mixture over salmon; top with lemon slices. Set aside remaining butter mixture for basting.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Add wood chips to grill according to manufacturer’s directions. Place salmon skin side down on grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or 4 in. from the heat for 5 minutes.
Carefully spoon some reserved butter mixture over salmon. Cover and grill or broil 15-20 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork, basting occasionally with remaining butter mixture.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tartar sauce ingredients. Serve with salmon. Yield: 8 servings (1 cup sauce).
