Tips for Grilled Salmon:

Salmon cooks quickly on the grill, so it’s important to keep a close watch on it. An instant read, digital meat thermometer is essential for perfectly cooked salmon. The USDA recommends cooking fish to 145°. If you prefer your salmon cooked to medium, grill to 130°.
Grill salmon skin side down. The skin will protect the flesh from sticking to the grill and cooking too fast.
Don’t flip the salmon, it will cook through without being flipped.
Smoke flavor is a delicious compliment for salmon. Pecan is our favorite for adding smoke flavor to fish. Oak and hickory are also great options.
