METHOD FOR BBQ SALMON

1. Preheat oven or grill to 450F.

2. Brush the tops of each salmon portion with your favorite BBQ sauce and then salt.

4. On a baking sheet arrange ramps and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss until well coated. Place ramps on hot side of grill and cook, turning occasionally, until tender and charred, about 2 minutes. If not using a grill, sauté them in a large pan for about 2 minutes.

5. While the salmon cooks ensure that the grits and jus are hot for serving.
