How do you know when the salmon is done?

You can test salmon for doneness by inserting a fork in the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily and is opaque, it is cooked through. Typically, salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also check that the meat has turned from translucent to a pinkish-white color.

Can I marinate the salmon overnight?

Yes, marinating the salmon overnight can enhance the flavors significantly. Just be cautious not to use too much acid in the marinade, as it can start to 'cook' the fish and affect its texture.

What should I serve with grilled salmon?

Grilled salmon pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. Consider serving it with roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or even a quinoa pilaf for a balanced meal. You can also elevate your side dishes with a drizzle of lemon vinaigrette.

Is it necessary to remove the skin from the salmon?

It's not necessary to remove the skin from the salmon before grilling. In fact, cooking salmon with the skin on can help keep it moist and adds flavor. The skin can also be removed easily after grilling if you prefer.

Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen salmon for this recipe. Just ensure you properly thaw the salmon in the fridge or under cold water before marinating and grilling. This will help with even cooking and flavor absorption.
