Grilled Salmon

Grilled salmon is a popular method of preparing salmon, a type of oily fish known for its rich flavor and high nutritional value. The process involves cooking salmon fillets or steaks on a grill, either over direct or indirect heat, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. In Hebrew, grilled salmon is referred to as "סלמון גריל" (pronounced "salmon gril"). In French, it is called "saumon grillé," while in Spanish, it is "salmón a la parrilla." Grilling salmon enhances its natural flavors and imparts a distinctive smoky aroma and charred exterior. Key to successful grilling is proper preparation, including cleaning and seasoning the fish, as well as controlling the grill temperature to avoid overcooking. Grilled salmon is often served with a variety of accompaniments, such as lemon wedges, herbs, and sauces, and is a staple in many cuisines around the world, particularly in coastal regions where fresh salmon is abundant.
