Notes
For the Best Grilled Salmon:
Preheat the Grill: Ensure the grill is preheated to medium-high heat before adding the salmon. This helps achieve a good sear and prevents sticking.
Use Oil and Seasonings: Brush the salmon with oil and season it generously. This enhances flavor and prevents the fish from drying out.
Grill with Skin Side Down: Start grilling with the skin side down to protect the flesh from direct heat. This also makes it easier to flip the salmon without breaking it apart.
