Common Questions: Mastering Grilled Salmon

Should I grill salmon with the skin on or off?

Always keep the skin on! As a hospitality professional, Oliver recommends skin-on grilling because it acts as a heat shield, protecting the delicate flesh from the fire. Plus, once it’s crispy, it’s the most flavorful part of the fish!

How do I prevent my salmon from sticking to the grill grates?

The secret is “dry and hot.” Pat your salmon bone-dry with a paper towel and make sure your grill grates are clean and oiled. Moisture is what causes sticking—eliminate the water, and the fish will release naturally once seared.

How long does it take to grill a salmon fillet?

Usually, it takes about 4 to 5 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick fillet. Following **USDA** safety standards, use a thermometer to check for $145^{\circ}F$. Pull it off a few degrees early and let it rest—the “carry-over” cooking will do the rest of the work!
