Salmon Recipes Grilled, Pan-fried, Baked Salmon Recipes Omega-3 salmon is one of the most suitable fish to be cooked on the grill. Salmon, which grows in cold waters, is generally preferred grill and oven as a cooking method because it is oily.
If you prefer to cook on the barbecue, you may need to shorten the cooking time a little more depending on the temperature of the fire. A medium-thick salmon fillet cooks in an average of 10-12 minutes on an electric grill. If you cook longer, the fish will dry out and lose its flavor.
If you want to fillet salmon on the grill, make sure the skin is on. Salmon is a delicate fish and cooks quickly, making it prone to falling apart. The skin helps to keep it whole and prevents it from falling apart during cooking.
We will prepare a sauce with butter, lemon, garlic and dill and apply some of it on the fish during cooking, while the rest is reserved for serving.
