Answers:
GRILLED FRESH SALMON STEAKS
2 (1 1/2 inch) thick fresh salmon steaks
Bottle of steak sauce
Marinate salmon in the steak sauce for one hour in the refrigerator. Remove from marinade. Cook on charcoal or gas grill for 10 minutes on each side. Serve with baked potato and salad
It depends on the size of your salmon steak/filet....I grill mine for about 4 minutes on each side. Unlike poultry, it should remain pink inside...otherwise it will be dry. To achieve grill marks, loosen filet with spatula after 3 minutes and turn it 45 degrees and continue grilling. If salmon is sticking it is most likely not done. good luck!
Average salmon fillet is about 11/4 to 13/4" for a center cut.
Times: 4min per side turning 45deg every 2min for med/med rare
6min per side for med well/well done, turning the same.
To ensure that you get good grill marks brush your fish with good oil and seasoning and place on a "HOT" grill. Don't not try to turn or pick up the salmon until its ready. It will tell you. The hotter the grill, the less it will sick.
