Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is firm to the touch and has a bright orange-pink color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a grayish tint.
  • Marinate the salmon before grilling: Marinating the salmon in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
  • Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat: This will help to sear the salmon and prevent it from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Grill the salmon for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through: The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment before you start cooking: This will help to ensure that the cooking process goes smoothly.
  • Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides: Grilled salmon is delicious with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
