6 salmon steaks, 3/4 inch thick (about 3 lbs. total)

MARINADE:

1/2 c. dry vermouth
1/4 c. vegetable oil
2 tbsp. chopped chives
1 tsp. leaf thyme, crumbled
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Combine all marinade ingredients. Place steaks in a large glass dish and pour marinade over all; cover with plastic wrap. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.

Grill over medium fire, 4 inches from heat, turning and baking with marinade, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
