1. Grilled Salmon with Dill and Lemon

Grilled Salmon with Dill and LemonRegarding BBQ Inc.
Combining dill and lemon with salmon produces the perfect flavors. This grilled salmon is one of my favorites, not only because it is so delicious, but quite easy to prepare. The biggest challenge is flipping it over on the grill. To simplify this, cut larger fillets into smaller pieces, similar in size to a standard spatula.

2. Plank Grilled Salmon Steaks

Don't want to fuss with all that flipping on the grill? Try a wooden plank. Take the salmon steaks, put them on a small, thin cedar or alder plank, season and load on a medium high grill. As the wood gently smolders it will give the salmon a great, smokey flavor. Quick, easy, and the perfect way to grill salmon.

3. Grill Smoked Salmon

Smoked slowly on the grill, this is the perfect way to get a fantastic grilled salmon. Use good wood chunks to provide the smoke and avoid hurrying through the cooking process. Traditionally, alder or cedar wood is used with salmon, but for this recipe I suggest hickory, oak or cherry to kick up the flavor and compensate for the smoking limitations of a grill.

4. Grilled Salmon in Barbecue Sauce

Infuse this salmon with a mildly tangy, yet pleasantly sweet barbecue sauce. This combination adds richness to the fish but does not overpower its natural flavor, so the end result is a delectable piece of salmon cooked over an open flame with a hint of barbecue components reminiscent of summer cookouts.

5. Maple Smoked Salmon

Surprisingly, salmon and maple is a fantastic pairing. These two flavors combined produce a sweet, rich taste. Enhanced by the grill, the salmon absorbs the smokiness and the maple glaze caramelizes to a deep and sweet perfection.

Spicy with a lovely twist of lime, this results in a very flavorful grilled salmon dish. Remember to squeeze fresh lime juice onto the salmon fillet as it comes off the grill to enhance its flavors even more. This grilled salmon is cooked indirectly so that it slow poaches, keeping it from drying out.

Grill hot and fast to give these salmon fillets, coated in a sweet whiskey marinade, the maximum flavors with a crisp and caramelized surface and a rich middle. The flavor of this salmon is so good, people who don't like fish will be back for more.

10. Cedar Plank Salmon

Cedar Plank SalmonRegarding BBQ Inc.
Looking for THE classic method for grilling salmon? You get all the flavor of the grill with real smoke (even if you are using a gas grill) and the convenience of cooking a large, delicate fish fillet on a cedar plank. One trick is to keep the salmon fillet on the cedar plank the whole time, from the preparation to serving. If you place the cedar plank on a sheet of foil after you take it off the grill, you can and put the whole thing on the table for a fantastic presentation.
