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.

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.
Hereâs how to grill salmon simply: Heat your coals or gas grill burner very hot. Brush salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the fish skin side down on the grate. Cook salmon for about 5 to 6 minutes, then flip. (Hereâs one key tip: If the fish is sticking to the grill grate, then itâs not ready to flip.) Cook for another 3 to 10 minutes, depending upon how hot your fire is.
