My recipes often have stories and this one sure does. I flew across from Prince Rupert on a huge Sikorski helicopter and landed at Langara Lightstation where, at that time, the Brunn family were the lighthouse keepers. Ken loved to grill things, especially salmon.

Measure the ingredients into a glass jar and shake them really well. Refrigerate about an hour before you slather it into your burgers or ribs.
Makes about 1 1/4 cups (310 mL)
