When is grilled salmon done?
- Salmon should turn from a bright translucent pink to a creamy opaque pink that flakes. After about 6-8 minutes of grilling, check the thickest part of the fish to see if it has turned pink and flaky, but has a tiny bit of translucent look (not raw) in the middle – remove it from the grill. Let it rest for about five minutes.
Do you cook salmon skin side down or up, first?
- Cook it skin side down and allow the skin to crisp up. The bottom half of the salmon will turn opaque and pink. Slide a spatula under the skin and flip the fish over to continue cooking. The cooked skin is safe to eat.
