Ingredients
  

  • 4 to 6 oz Thick and Fresh Fillet of Salmon  Not Frozen
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil or Avacado Oil
  • Salt To taste

Equipment

  • 1 Instant-Read Wired Thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat grill to 450 Degrees
  2. Coat the salmon fillets with oil and place them on a quarter sheet pan (roughly 13"x9") skin side down
  3. Sprinkle generously with salt
  4. Insert the tip of an instant-read wired thermometer into the thickest part of your salmon fillet.  Target temperature - 145 Degrees
  5. Place the pan on the upper rack of your grill and close the lid.
  6. Set the target temperature alarm to 140 Degrees F to give time to get to the grill.  Remove the salmon 142 Degrees because the salmon will continue to cook after removing if from the grill.
