The Alaskan Salmon is born and bred in cold waters. Every spring the Salmon swim up stream to spawn. Much of this trek is through rivers that cut through the woods. Therefore it is fitting that we cook salmon on a wood fired grill. Cooking Salmon is easy. You don’t need a mesh grill plate, you don’t need foil, and you dont need a basket. You do need a hot grill and some grace. Place the Filet skin down for 6 minutes on a grill that is 175-225 degrees. Flip it over and remove the skin. (The skin is a good snack if you like fish and crunchy things). Turn a quarter turn. Flip over on other side. Wait 3 minutes and turn quarter turn. In 3 minutes remove from grill. Let sit for 10 minutes and squeeze 1/2 lemon over filet before eating….Not all grilling has to be barbecue.
