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.

Salmon steaks take roughly 4 to 7 minutes and should be turned once. A whole salmon should be cooked slowly at a low temperature. Salmon should be monitored during the grilling process, so it doesn't overcook. Because fish does not retain heat well, it should be served immediately after grilling.
