How to Grill Fish on the Skin

By Tom Genung

Grilling fish is a seemingly difficult task, with many horror stories of
fish falling apart, and also sticking to the grate. It really is not that
hard to grill fish with success. I wrote The 5 Essentials for Grilling
Perfect Fish to tackle some of the problems holding would-be successful fish
grillers back. Using the tips in that article will help you to grill some
amazing fish.

However, we are going to drill down and focus on grilling fish on the skin
side. You've picked up some nice salmon fillets with the skin on from your
local fish market; guess what, that's the hard part. That's right, picking a
good fish is more difficult than grilling it. Let me show you how easy it
is.


1.. Direct medium-high heat on a covered grill. Set up you charcoal or gas
grill to produce a medium-high heat level. Make sure your grate is clean,
and rub a bit of olive or canola oil on it. The cleanliness and oil will
help prevent the fish from sticking.
2.. Brush the skin side of the fish fillet with oil. A bit of olive or
canola oil brushed on the skin side with help to prevent sticking. A bit of
melted butter will work too.
3.. Place the fish fillet skin side down over the heat source and cover.
Grilling fish directly over the heat source will crisp up the skin and also
help with sticking. Grilling the fish covered will cooking it evenly top
through bottom.
4.. Check on the fish periodically, but don't ever flip it. Grilling fish
this way requires no flipping, but you do need to check on it. Check to see
that the skin is crisping, but not burning. You can do this by lifting the
corner of the fish fillet with a spatula. If the skin is starting to burn,
fold up a piece of aluminum foil and slide it under the fish fillet.
5.. The fish will be done in 10 - 15 minutes. It doesn't take long to
grill fish on the skin.

See, I told you it's easy. Get out there and try it. I personally love to
grill salmon fillets this way. It is so quick, easy and delicious. And just
think of the glazes you could also add. There are a lot of options for
experimenting with grilled fish.
