How To Cook Salmon On The Grill
Camila Farah

Once the grill is hot clean the grates with a stainless steel grill brush to get a fresh cooking surface.
Or you can just go ahead and serve it crispy skin and all. When you re cooking salmon fillets or steaks over direct heat we recommend flipping them halfway through. Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill and cover. Place the salmon at an angle over direct high heat with the flesh side of the salmon on the grates as pictured below.
Before grilling you ll want to make sure your grill is well seasoned to keep the fish from sticking and to help it cook evenly. Once you close the grill the salmon should cook for 14 18 minutes until almost completely cooked through at the thickest part. Cook undisturbed until the salmon just starts to release its fat opaque mayonnaise like stuff or until it reaches 145 f which takes about 15 to 20 minutes for most 1 inch thick fillets. Tender juicy salmon is perfect for grilling.
If you started with a clean preheated and oiled grill your salmon won t stick. Close the lid and let the salmon cook for 3 4 minutes. Start grilling with the flesh side down then flip the fish to grill the other side. This recipe is written for grilled salmon in foil on a gas grill and it also works for a charcoal grill traeger grill or big green egg.
