General Tso's Salmon on the Grill

One of my amazing friends in Florida, sent a bottle of General Tso's sauce for me to try. (Thank you again Tim!) I hadn't tasted it before, but love General Tso dishes at the local Chinese restaurant.
After a pinky finger taste test, I decided to try the sauce on a slab of salmon.

I trim the belly and tail off the slab, for even cooking. I DO save the pieces and cook them too.

The General Tso's sauce...

after trimming the salmon, I painted with several layers of the sauce...

sprinkled with sesame seeds...

then scored the fish for more smoke penetration...

into the Hasty Bake...

I keep an eye on the juices and try to pull the slab off of the heat when the juices rise to the top..

The General Tso's salmon served with sticky rice and peas from my garden...

Really liked this sauce! It wasn't as hot or spicy as I thought it would be. I'm thinking of other things to try it on. Not sure if you will see this, but thank you again Tim for sharing the sauce. I appreciate it!


btw, I devoured the belly piece as soon as it was finished cooking. One of the bonus' of being the cook. :D

Thanks for stopping by!
