Itâs official: GIF has been named the Oxford American Dictionaryâs word of the year. The word--and the computer science behind it--has been around since the 1980s, but the GIF has gained popularity in the past few years as a popular means of expressing internet memes.
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.
When ready to cook the fish, brush the skin of the fish with oil or melted butter. Place the fillets, skin side down, on the grate. Cover the grill. Cook the fish until the skin is darkly browned and crackling crisp and the meat flakes easily when pressed with a finger, 6 to 12 minutes. If the skin starts to burn before the fish is cooked, pull the fillets onto a piece of aluminum foil.
