Notes

Make sure your grill is clean and preheated before adding the salmon.
Keep the lid down as the salmon cooks to maintain a consistent temperature.
The easiest way to see if your salmon has finished cooking is to gently press down on the top of the fillet with a fork or your finger. If the flesh of the salmon flakes, it’s finished cooking. The proper internal temperature of cooked salmon is 145°F.
