how long do i cook salmon on the grill
1 Brush the cooking grate with oil. 2  Place the salmon, skin-side-down, on the grill and cover. 3  Cook, undisturbed, until the salmon just starts to release (some might say ooze) its fat (opaque mayonnaise-y stuff) and/or the flesh flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes for most 1-inch-thick fillets.
