what temperature and how long to grill salmon
Step Three: Grilling the Salmon. Prepare the grill for direct grilling at 500ÂºF. once hot, clean the grill surface with a sturdy grill brush. For filets that are 1-inch thick, we grill the salmon for a total of about 8 minutes over a 500ÂºF fire. This should result in fish that is cooked medium to medium-well. Place each filet on the grill grate directly over the fire with the skin-side up. After about 5 minutes, the edges of the meat should begin to pull away from the grill. The salmon will release from the grill when it is ready to turn over. A few exploratory lifts at the edges should tell you whether or not it is ready.
