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.
If you are using a charcoal grill, the fillets should be placed on the side of the grill furthest from the coals. If you are using a gas grill, just reduce the flame to medium. Close the grill lid. Cook for another 2-5 minutes, again depending on the thickness of the fillets. Salmon should be just barely opaque throughout when done. Better to err on the side of undercooking the salmon, rather than overcooking.
