1 If available, use a probe cover with your thermometer. 2  Put the end of the thermometer in the center of your child's armpit. 3  Be sure the thermometer is only between skin and that clothes are not in the way. 4  Bring your child's arm down, close to the side.
1 If the fillets still have skin, remove it after grilling.  To grill salmon on a charcoal grill, place the fish on the grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork. Turn the fish once halfway through grilling. If you like, brush the salmon with olive oil or melted butter after turning to add flavor and keep it moist.
Prepare the grill for direct grilling at 500ÂºF. once hot, clean the grill surface with a sturdy grill brush. For filets that are 1-inch thick, we grill the salmon for a total of about 8 minutes over a 500ÂºF fire. This should result in fish that is cooked medium to medium-well. Place each filet on the grill grate directly over the fire with the skin-side up. After about 5 minutes, the edges of the meat should begin to pull away from the grill. The salmon will release from the grill when it is ready to turn over. A few exploratory lifts at the edges should tell you whether or not it is ready.
