Barbecued Salmon Steaks

Ingredients:

1. 6 salmon steaks, each 1 to 2 inches thick
2. 1 cup rose’ wine
3. ¼ tsp dried marjoram
4. ½ tsp onion powder
5. 1/16 tsp pepper
6.   seasoned salt

Directions:

1. Combine the wine, marjoram, onion powder and pepper
2. Pour over uncooked salmon in a shallow glass or enamelware pan.
3. The amounts of seasoning in the marinade can be increased to your taste.
   Use more marinade if necessary to cover the salmon steaks.
4. Refrigerate for several hours, turning salmon once or twice.
5. Drain well
6. Barbeque or broil, sprinkling with seasoned salt as the salmon cooks.
7. Test for doneness with a fork.

Salmon steaks 1-inch in thickness will cook on your grill in about 10 minutes,
allowing 5 minutes on each side.  A 1 ½-inch steak requires 7 minutes, and a
2-inch steak about 10 minutes on each side.  If baked or broiled in an oven, the
necessary time is less as the steaks cook on both sides at once.
