  • Heat grill to 500 degrees or hotter. Place the salmon on hot grill flesh side down with the thicker end of the salmon close to you. Set your timer for 3 minutes and close grill. With a large wide spatula, be very quick and deliberate and flip salmon. Set your timer for 5 minutes, close grill and cook until fish has an internal temperature of 130 degrees.
