Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainably-sourced salmon that is fresh and firm.
  • Use fresh herbs. Dried herbs can be used, but fresh herbs will give your salmon a more vibrant flavor.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Grilled salmon is best when served hot off the grill. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Make a compound butter. A compound butter is a great way to add extra flavor to your salmon. Simply mix softened butter with your favorite herbs, spices, and seasonings.
  • Use a grill pan. If you don't have a grill, you can still cook salmon on a grill pan. Preheat the grill pan over medium heat and cook the salmon for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is just opaque in the center.

Conclusion:

Grilled salmon is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. With the right ingredients and a little bit of know-how, you can create a restaurant-quality salmon dish at home. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
