Sockeye Salmon

This was the first time I have done salmon. I would have given it a shot before, but my wife recently just figured out she actually likes salmon! Cook was pretty basic, I didn't have cedar planks and forget to grab a lemon at the store, so I just put a little Tsunami Spin on it.
Grid at the felt line, 400 degrees, I think it took about 10 minutes, and threw on some fresh green beans at the same time. Everything turned out great! Wife was happy so I think salmon will be on the regular menu now. Looking forward to trying some different sauces/preparations too. Anyone have any favorites?

Looks great! Glad you got your wife to eat it. Mine likes salmon but, not with the skin on!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

Man, that looks outstanding! Love those beans with a little char too! A nice dill (or maybe avocado) sauce would be good on the salmon.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Looking good! Good for you too.

Thanks everyone!
@pgprescott definitely, mixing in some fish to the rotation helps cut all the normal BBQ proteins, and like everything else, the egg makes it shine.
@JohnInCarolina I bet an avocado sauce would be real good, lots of good omega fattiness. I think a lemon butter caper sauce or a sweet Asian style would be good too. Seems like salmon has endless possibilities
@TexanOfTheNorth yeah I don't think I could sell the skin lol. I've never tried it myself. Do you pan sear it to get it crisp or just grill?

Try dizzy pig pineapple head its really good on salmon

Looks great. Sockeye is my favorite of the salmon family.
Lately the only store that carries fish has been sold out if sockeye. The only they've had has been the Atlantic farm raise. That's a No-Go in our house.Steven

Farm raised salmon is best served to in laws:). Sockeye, especially Copper River Sockeye is best. Agree with stemc33.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

I find it easier to remove the skin after cooking. If anything sticks to the grill, its the skin, which I would remove anyway.Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
Salmon skin = bacon of the sea
salmon skin salad is my go-to appetizer in japanese restaurants -
Yeah I cooked it with the skin on, but it didn't seem that crispy when I took it off the grill. The skin came off no problem when eating.
