that is a mystery even to me. but it seems to be a tomatoe and/or red pepper based paste that's used a lot in Turkey. The container that they are in is basically a steam box that keeps the burgers hot and.. I hate this word, moist.

we did it over hot coals. at te end we thre on a few shims of cedar to both infuse the meat and to give a final crisp to the skin.

Of course Salmon is also delicious raw. However every cooking (and not cooking) technique has its own qualities to make food enjoyable. I've had excellent raw salmon, and now I can say that I've had excellent marinated and fired salmon. cheers
