Best Answer

Buy a cedar plank. Soak it in salted water for a couple of hours

Rub the salmon with olive oil and season it with a little bit of salt, I use kosher salt or smoked sea salt but regular table salt will work just fine. Then put the salmon on top of the plank, skin side down. Then put the plank on the BBQ. You can see the fish cook, it will get pinkish-white starting from the skin and traveling up. If your grill has a top, close it and cook for about 20-30 minutes. Check it to make sure it's not drying out. Internal temp should be around 130 or so.

How do you BBQ salmon steaks?

Directions
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
  • Season one side of each steak with the Italian seasoning, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Lay the steaks with the seasoned-side down on the prepared grill. Cook on grill until the flesh flakes, turning once, 7 to 8 minutes.


    • How long does it take to grill salmon on the barbecue?

    Salmon cooks quickly on the grill (usually no more than 12 minutes total), so don't walk away or get distracted. The salmon will be medium-rare when an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion reads 120 degrees F. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow for some carryover cooking.

    Is it better to grill salmon in foil or not?

    While you can grill salmon without foil, I find that the best way to grill a fish is with a foil packet. Using foil to make a packet around the salmon keeps the salmon moist when grilling. It ensures the salmon turns out perfectly tender and flaky, not dry.

    How long do you cook salmon on the grill and at what temperature?

    Grill the salmon on a 450\xb0-500\xb0 F hot grill. The number one way to ensure success when grilling fish is a smoking hot grill. Cook for skin side down for about 6-8 minutes on hot grates to ensure the fish (or any other protein) won't stick to the grates and will lift easily away once it's done.

    Answer 2

    I like making a dry rub with brown sugar, paprika, chipotle powder, thyme, black pepper, salt, and parsley. To cook, dredge in a bit of olive oil, then pat with the rub. It'll caramelise wonderfully and lends a really nice taste - smoky sweet with a bit of a bite.

    Answer 3

    A lil' evoo, sprinkle with Emeril's fish rub and smoke skin side down between 200-250 for 3-3.5 hours...yum!

    Answer 4

    The only thing I've ever done for BBQ salmon is to put something on it (I usually just put a couple lemon slices, sometimes a bit of BBQ sauce) wrap it in foil, and cook it.

    Answer 5

    i love doing it this way, it's not quite "BBQ" other than that it is cooked on the bbq itself.

    put the steaks on some foil then salt & pepper them. lay on top of them some lemon slices and some sprigs of oregano. put a splash of white wine on it then seal the foil into a tent shape with the steak inside. pull off after about 10 minutes or until the steaks are how you like them.

    Answer 6

    A quick and easy way is to grill with a slice of bacon and slice of lemon on top. Set the bacon and lemon aside while flipping, then put back on top.
