I can't believe you haven't had salmon. Gosh I have to make it once a week since it is my husband's favorite. With all that experience he tells me I am an expert. When I buy salmon at the store it is a fillet with skin generally. I take that and put all sorts of different flavorings on it like ginger and soy, lemon and dill, wine and rosemary, soy and side of wasabi, basil, whisky, brown sugar, etc. Then I just put it skin side down on the grill, lid down. You don't have to turn it. Check after about 8 minutes by flaking into the thick part with a fork, when it has a very teeny amount of gooey pink left in the center take it off by sliding a spatula between the skin and flesh and leave the skin on the grill and it will finish cooking that little bit. You don't want it to be rare like ahi tuna but you don't want it overcooked. It cools really fast so it doesn't "carry over cook" too much so it needs to be taken off just before it is done.
I can only handle about 4oz now but hubby eats the rest- usually a couple pounds! I hope you will try making it. Oh and it needs salt of course and salmon is really good with a sweet flavor like brown sugar, maple or teriyaki.
