Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is thick and evenly cut, with no bones or skin.
- Marinate the salmon. 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. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the salmon. This will help to sear the outside of the fish and prevent it from sticking to the grill grates.
- Grill the salmon skin-side down. Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. This will help to protect the delicate flesh of the fish and prevent it from falling apart.
- Cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes per side. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon fillets. Cook the salmon until it is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Grilled salmon is best served immediately, while it is still hot and flaky. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or quinoa.
