When quality Salmon meets with the burning surface of a Weber grill, the only result is nothing but tasty deliciousness. However, you have yet to experience the full flavor of Grilled Chinook Salmon if you have not tried Greg Higgins’ recipe.

3) Mei Lin’s Sweet-and-Spicy Spareribs with Korean Barbecue Sauce
Another delicious recipe to try on your Weber is Mei Lin’s Sweet-and-spicy Spareribs. When the executive chef roasts her ribs she makes sure to do it on low heat, or as Mei Lin calls it, she’ll slow-roast the spareribs in the oven.
She’ll do this until the ribs are super tender and the timing depends on your oven type.
After roasting, she then goes over to glaze the meal with the sauce. You should know that Mei Lin’s Korean Barbecue sauce is sweet and spicy with a spike of gochujang.
An added note is that Mei Lin uses her special BBQ sauce for other things than grilled spare ribs. Mix it with melted butter and toss it on the side of your delicious fried chicken.
