Grilled seafood is a delicacy appreciated by many people. Whether it’s fish, octopus or salmon, seafood lovers are crazy about it grilled. Salmon can be cooked in various ways, with many types of sauces or garnishments, so we’ll give you some advice about how to grill it.
First choose the salmon carefully. It’s best you use fresh salmon fillets. Make sure that the fillets are flawless and have a good texture. If you buy packed salmon fillets, make sure that the packs are properly sealed.
The spices are very important. Generally, it’s recommended you use salt, freshly grounded pepper and a little olive oil, but you can add thyme, rosemary or dill, as you prefer.
Last but not least, it’s best you cook the salmon at a medium temperature. The optimum time for grilling salmon is 2 minutes for each side. It’s good to turn the fish on the other side when its meat becomes opaque.
