Salmon on the Grill Recipe (+)

Directions

Brush the gas or charcoal grill grates with oil to prevent salmon from sticking.
Place rack approximately 4" from heat source and preheat the grill (the fire should be very hot).
Rub a thin coat of oil on the salmon to prevent sticking.
Grill salmon, flesh side down, for 5 minutes. At this point you can choose to turn the salmon over or cover with foil. Grill for 2 to 3 additional minutes.
To check for doneness, cut into the center with a sharp knife. If salmon appears flakey, it is done. Serve immediately.
