Brush flesh side of salmon with basting sauce.
Cover and cook for 10-20 minutes, or until flesh just turns opaque in center, basting 2-3 times while cooking.
Or, if using a hinged basket, turn flesh side down for last 3-4 minutes.
If using an electric grilling machine, place salmon steaks on a hot grill, baste with a little of sauce, cover and cook for about 2-1/2 minutes, then flip over fish, baste a little more and cook for another 2-1/2 minutes or untl fish is opaque and starts to flake.
