Can I grill the salmon instead of baking it?
Absolutely! Grill salmon over high heat, approximately 450°F-550°F. Brush the salmon fillets with oil to keep them from sticking to the grates of the grill and and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon skin side down with the lid closed for about 6-8 minutes. Then, turn the salmon over, close the lid, and cook for about 2-4 minutes until an instant read thermometer plunged into the thickest piece of salmon registers 125° - 145° F (52° - 62° C). *See note below about seafood food safety.
