THIS is how I get perfectly grilled salmon every time

Of all the fish salmon is the easiest to grill and has the potential to produce some of the best results if you shop smart and prepare both the fish and the grill properly. While many other fish are flaky and delicate salmon is more robust with a fattiness that helps prevent the fish from drying out during cooking. These instructions are for salmon fillets; for salmon steaks see our recipe for Grilled Salmon Steak Medallions.

You can cook either wild or farmed salmon on the grill although farmed salmon tends to be more consistently fatty which can work to your advantage when cooking it in such dry heat. If you’re trying to grill wild salmon you’ll have a better chance of success if you get thicker fillets as well as fattier ones. The size and fattiness will depend on the species of wild salmon as well as the time of year the salmon was caught along with other factors so you may not have much control over what you get.
