--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      pounds        whole salmon -- gutted and cleaned
                        Hickory smoke flavoring -- as needed
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
   1      dash          cayenne pepper
   2      tablespoons   fresh lemon juice
   2      tablespoons   rosemary
   2      cloves        garlic -- unpeeled
                        fresh parsley -- to garnish
                        lemon curls -- to garnish
   1      tablespoon    extra-virgin olive oil

     With a sharp knife, cut the salmon diagonally on the top side, 
making cuts one-half inch apart down the length of the fish, while 
cutting one-half inch deep. Mix the hickory smoked flavoring, salt, 
cayenne pepper, olive oil and lemon juice together. Rub the mixture into
the cuts and over the bottom side of the salmon. Place the rosemary and
garlic into the cavity and marinate in the refrigerator for 
approximately four hours.
     Place the salmon on a rack over a large roasting pan in a preheated
oven at 425F. Roast uncovered for 10 minutes per inch of thickness. 
Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley and 
lemon curls.
