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.
