Grilling Salmon

Salmon is one of the best types of fish to do on the grill as it is so versatile. It has a high fat content which can stand up to the high heat of the grill.

The trick with salmon is keep it moist and let it cook in its own juices. Salmon and fish in general is a nice healthy alternative to the normal red meat dishes on a barbecue.

 Preparation - Salmon

The fresher the salmon is the better it is for the grill. Your salmon fillets need to be at least an inch thick as anything thinner will flake while grilling.

When seasoning salmon do not over do it use basic ingredients. Salt, ground pepper, and a bit of lemon juice. Do not over marinate salmon let it have its own flavour. Don't leave it in marinate for too long before you grill, no longer than ten minutes.

Fish meat is really soft and the acidic ingredients in a marinate will eat away at the flesh. Especially be careful when using lime or lemon juice as this is very high in acid and will eat away at the flesh.

Grilling Salmon

Pre-heat grill to a medium heat and grease the grill grid well with olive oil. Salmon tends to stick to the grill very easily.

Avoid flare ups at all costs, an open flame will burn fish. Grilling time eight to ten minutes, keep turning the salmon regularly.

An alternative is to wrap the salmon in high duty aluminum foil which prevents the salmon from burning. Lightly grease rectangle shaped pieces of foil and place salmon in the foil bringing the ends up to enlcose it.

    Planking is one way to get juicy, tender chicken, seafood and other meats on the barbecue grill. Using planks imparts a smoky flavor similar to wood chips in a barbecue smoker, but since it protects the meat from the direct heat of the grill it keeps them tender even over direct heat from a barbecue grill.
