Grilling Salmon

When grilling salmon, the coals should be hot but not too hot. It is best to wait a little longer than normal, a few minutes after the coals have turned ash white, before grilling.

Grilling Whole Fish

For whole fish and large fillets, the indirect method of grilling is slower and gentler. The coals or heat source is hot on one side of the grill, while the fish cooks on the other side. Always keep the lid closed as long as possible.
