Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught salmon that is firm and has a bright orange color.
  • Make sure your grill is hot enough: The grill should be preheated to medium-high heat before you start cooking the salmon.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a cedar plank: Cooking salmon on a cedar plank will help to infuse it with a smoky flavor.
  • Make sure your marinade is flavorful: The marinade is what will give your salmon its flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Some good ingredients to use in a salmon marinade include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
  • Don't forget the sides: Salmon is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some good options include grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
