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.
Grill. Grilling is a dry-heat cooking method ideal for salmon steaks and thick-cut fillets that still have their skin. The skin prevents the salmon portions from falling apart as theyâre grilled; you should set skinless salmon on foil. A clean grill is of fundamental importance, as grit and grime make fish stick to the hot grate, which can result in mangled portions. Once your grill is medium-hot, brush the grate with vegetable oil. Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper, and if desired, rub each side with a small amount of olive oil. Place the fish skin side up on the hot grill, cover it, and let it cook for about 4 minutes before turning it over to repeat the process.
