  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainably-sourced salmon that is fresh and firm to the touch.
  • Prepare the salmon properly. Remove the skin and pin bones from the salmon, and cut it into evenly-sized fillets.
  • Season the salmon simply. A simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon.
  • Grill the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and drying out.
  • Cook the salmon until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the salmon rest before serving. This will help the salmon to retain its juices and prevent it from drying out.

Grilled salmon is a healthy and delicious meal that is easy to prepare. By following these tips, you can cook grilled salmon that is perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Serve grilled salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled lemon wedges, or a simple green salad.
