Grilled Tequila Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 -3 limes
    1/3 cup tequila
    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 jalapeno peppers, seeded
    2 teaspoons sugar
    2 teaspoons chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    4 salmon steaks, each about 1 1/2 inches thick or 2 lbs salmon fillets
    1 tablespoon cold butter (optional)
Preparation
    Grate peel from limes & place in a bowl.
    Squeeze out 1/2 cup juice from limes.
    Add to bowl along with tequila & oil.
    Finely chop peppers and stir into lime mixture along with sugar, chili powder & salt.
    Place salmon into large resealable plastic bag.
    To support the bag, place in a large bowl.
    Pour marinade over fish and seal bag.
    Let marinade for at least an hour--but preferably 4 hours.
    Lightly oil grill and turn BBQ to medium.
    Remove salmon from marinade & place directly on hot grill.
    BBQ, with lid closed, for about 7- 8 minutes per side or until a knife point inserted into the center of the salmon feels warm.
    While salmon is grilling, pour remaining marinade into a saucepan.
    Boil vigorously, uncovered, stirring often, until sauce is reduced by half--about 3 minutes.
    If you want a thicker sauce, add butter & whisk constantly for about another minute.
