Do you flip salmon on the grill?
Place the salmon skin side down on the grill. There is no need to flip. Unless you have a well seasoned cast iron grill or one of the really cheap portable grills with thin grates, the flesh of the salmon will most likely stick. To avoid the “sticking panic” cook salmon skin side down and don’t flip.
Should you soak salmon before grilling?
Soak Salmon In Brine Cooking fresh salmon typically produces a white ‘skin’. You can easily prevent or at least significantly reduce this. Soaking in brine also means that the fish will be much juicier and tastier after cooking, and it prevents the fish becoming too dry should it be cooked a little longer.
How do you make salmon taste better?
Freezing ASAP ensures that the fish tastes as fresh (i.e. less fishy) as can be. When it’s time, I pull as many salmon filets as I want to make out of the freezer and put them in the fridge to defrost—overnight usually does the trick. Second, stop pretending you’ll acquire a taste for bare salmon.
Can you grill salmon without foil?
While you can grill salmon without foil, I find that the foil option is by far the easiest, most effective way to grill salmon. It ensures the salmon turns out perfectly tender and flaky, not dry. With the foil method, you also don’t need to worry about the salmon falling apart or sticking to the grill.
What spice goes well with salmon?

What’s the white stuff that comes out of salmon?
albumin
The white stuff on salmon is called albumin. Albumin is a protein that exists in the fish in liquid form when it’s raw, but coagulates and becomes semi-solid when you subject the salmon to heat, whether that’s in the oven, on the stove, or on the grill.
How long should I marinate salmon?
Tips for the Best Salmon Marinade Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes so that is has time to soak up all of the delicious flavor, but not more than 1 hour. Marinating for too long can result in a mushy piece of fish. Always marinate salmon in the refrigerator so that it stays fresh.
Do you grill salmon skin side down or up?
So when you’re cooking salmon, keep that skin on: It provides a safety layer between your fish’s flesh and a hot pan or grill. Start with the skin-side down, and let it crisp up. It’s much easier to slide a fish spatula under the salmon’s skin than under its delicate flesh.
