Directions
Lightly coat or spray the filet with oil. Olive oil is OK, avocado oil or duck fat oil is preferred.
Season the flesh side(s) of the filets.
Pre-heat the grill to high.
Oil (spray or wipe) the GrillGrates with Canola or Duck fat IF the GrillGrates appear dry or are not well seasoned.
If your salmon has skin on one side, place the filet flesh side down on a hot GrillGrate at an angle to the rails just as you would a steak.
Allow to sear for 2-3 minutes.
Use the GrateTool to lift and twist the filet (same side down) to put a nice cross-hatch on the flesh.
Grill another 2-3 minutes.
Flip the filets with the GrateTool and see how nicely the salmon sears.
Grill to finish by observing the flesh color go to all pink and by testing with an instant-read thermometer. I usually remove at 135-140°F.
A tip for cooking salmon is to use a piece of parchment paper, you still get great grill marks but the fish will not stick to the grates.
Hmm, we have never tried. Thanks for the tip! We will have to try it out!
And if you don’t like grilling the skin (which my wife doesn’t), once the flesh side is almost done, you can more easily peel the skin off at this time. Then apply more oil to the exposed flesh and flip.
Yes! So much easier!
