How to Grill Salmon

Salmon steaks and salmon filets are some of the best fish tastes on the planet. A slow grill and a little patience are all you need to achieve perfect grilled salmon!

Steps

1. Fire up the grill. For a charcoal grill, heap the coals to the side so you have a 'hot' area and a 'warm' area. For a gas grill, set the temperature to 325 degrees F.
2. Use a small brush or a paper towel to lightly apply mayonnaise onto one side of the salmon. You can use olive oil if you prefer. Place it on the warm part of the grill. (The mayonnaise keeps the fish from sticking, and will burn off.) Coat the visible side of the fish with more mayonnaise, so that when you flip it, the bottom will not stick.
3. Turn the salmon over after 3 - 5 minutes. Allow it to cook on the other side for 3 minutes.
4. Place the salmon on the hottest part of the grill to get grill marks on it - only takes a minute or so on each side.
5. Serve and enjoy!

Tips

• Salmon goes really well with rice pilaf and a green salad.
• The chef usually does a better job if provided with a cold beer or a nice glass of wine.
• Suggested wine pairings:
  
  
  • Chardonnay: Especially one that lets the fruit come out. Not too oaky
  • Pinot Noir: A classic pairing for grilled salmon especially
  • Chenin Blanc: Fragrant and a little sweet, a wonderful and often overlooked pairing for salmon
• To add a light smoke flavor to your salmon, you may want to consider Northern White Cedar chips or chunks. For charcoal, toss a handful of chips directly on the coals just before adding the salmon. For gas grills, place chunks on grilling surface. When they start to smoke, add the salmon.
