Sprinkle with remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour 1/4 cup water in dish (to cover bottom in a thin layer). Cook fish until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately over bed of watercress drizzled with cold herb sauce. Extra sauce can be refrigerated up to 4 days.

I made this tonight with basmati rice and spinach. We don't have a grill/grill pan so I used my old-school George Foreman grill. It was delicious. I halved each of the ingredients for my small group. Will definitely make again...

This is a fabulous and fresh way to do salmon. Most guests will never ever have had salmon this way so it is fun to see reactions. The barbecue sauce is paired perfect with the fish. I like to serve it with a cold slaw in summer and a sauvignon blanc. Yum
