Perfect Grilled Salmon

Total Time: 28 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, 1/2 lb. each
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• salt and pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 prepare grill: place sheet of aluminum foil on grill grates, tucking in ends to secure. pre-heat on high for 15 minutes with lid closed. this gets the grill grates super hot!
• 2 remove foil and wipe down grates with oil until black and glossy, about 10 times, not just 2 or 3! this is super important for keeping fish from sticking.
• 3 rub fish with a little oil and season to taste on both sides.
• 4 place skin side down and grill 3-5 minutes depending on thickness and degree of doneness you prefer. i like med. rare so i do 3 minutes for about 1 1/2 inch fillets.
• 5 flip when fish releases from grate on it's own. if it sticks, it is not ready to flip (or you didn't grease the grill enough).
• 6 cook another 3-5 minutes on other side or until fish reads 125 degrees, depending on your preference.
