4 6-oz. salmon fillets

marinade. Place the salmon fillets on the grill with a piece of lemongrass on each fillet. Place an onion
quarter beside each fillet. Cover the grill and cook for 6 minutes. Turn the fillets over and brush with the
remaining ½-cup marinade. Turn the onion quarters and place the lemongrass on top of each fillet. Cover
