Recipe notes

  • For best results, choose center-cut salmon fillets of even thickness.
  • If using skinless fillets, reduce cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
  • The salmon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.

Storage notes

  • Store leftover grilled salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a 275°F oven for about 15 minutes to prevent drying out.
