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.
Place the salmon on the grill diagonally to the grill grates so that you get those pretty grill marks. Grill for 3-4 minutes per inch of thickness on each side with the lid closed. Thereâs nothing worse than overcooked fish! The salmon will flake easily with a fork when done so make sure to test it when salmon turns opaque and feels slightly firm. Use a wide spatula to remove the salmon from the grill.
