Directions
Combine cornstarch and sherry; add peanut oil, black beans, ginger, garlic, broth, oyster sauce and soy sauce. Stir until well blended (or process in blender or food processor until blended). Set aside. Prepare a bed of hot coals or preheat broiler. Adjust barbecue grill 4-5 inches above coals; position oven rack so fish will be 4-5 inches below heat source. Lightly grease grill or rack. Cook about 3 minutes, then rotate ¼ turn and cook 2-3 minutes longer to create a crisscross pattern. Turn fish over, cook other side same way (total cooking time is 10-12 minutes). To check doneness, pierce center of salmon with a fork; if flesh is opaque and flakes readily, fish is done. Don't overcook! Place fish on warmed plates and top with a few spoonfuls of sauce, letting it run over edges. Garnish with green onions. Makes 6 servings.
