Had a new rookie mistake today....
wife woke me up at the crack of noon demanding that I grill this side of salmon that she picked up yesterday.
I was up all night working on a side project, so I was a little bit groggy...
I got up, decided to cook on the ranch (mostly because it involved the least amount of work).
I fired up a chimney and got the salmon all seasoned up (a blend of
@jamesnomore 's rub and some brown sugar - my goto for salmon)
I dumped the coals and put the salmon on the grill indirect, went inside and chilled on the couch for 30 minutes.
The wife and kids were pestering me about being hungry, so i went outside to move the salmon closer to the coals - possibly even flip and sear and be done....
I walked outside to discover the lid of the ranch sitting WIDE OPEN, the coals about half spent, and the salmon still mostly raw.
WHOOPS. Forgot to close the lid.
