How Long Does Salmon Need To Be On The Grill?
The grilling time for salmon largely depends on its thickness and the temperature of the grill. Generally, a 1-inch thick salmon fillet needs around 10 minutes of grilling on a heated grill, with the skin side down for the first 6 minutes. Thicker fillets may require a couple of extra minutes, while thinner ones may be cooked in lesser time. It is important to monitor the temperature and check the doneness of the fish by inserting a fork into the thickest part to check for flakes. Overcooking salmon can result in dry and tough flesh, so it is better to err on slightly undercooked rather than overcooked.
