Preparing Your Salmon for the Grill
Properly preparing your salmon for the grill can help avoid sticking and enhance the natural flavors. Lightly oiling both the grill grates and your salmon can help prevent sticking. Additionally, marinating your salmon in a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and your favorite herbs and spices not only adds flavor but also helps prevent it from drying out on the grill.

The cooking time for salmon on the grill varies depending on the thickness of the fillet. Here are some general guidelines:
