1. Preheat grill.
2. Place salmon on hot grill.
3. Cover grill and let cook for five minutes.
4. Put some lemon juice on fish, cover, and let cook about 5 more minutes.
Tips:
Leave skin on fish. The skin holds layer of fat next to meat, and adds flavor and juiciness to salmon.
Marinate for 1 hour before cooking.
For salmon filets, leave skin on, scales and all, and place filet on grill, skin down. Salmon is ready when it lifts away from skin easily.
Warnings:
Avoid overcooking fish.

I just did a couple of fillets on the grill.
Take some aluminum foil and put the fillet on it. coat the fish with butter and then cover with brown sugar. I know this sounds a little different but it is great. curl the edges up on all sides of the foil then put on the grill. I have a charcoal grill so when the coals were white hot I put the foil on and let it cook for about 15 minutes. You can do the same thing if you have a gas grill. Set the grill for 350 and cook for about the same time. when the fish is flaky it's don't. It was so good I didn't even use tarter sauce.
Good luck and Happy cooking

Heat your grill up to a high temp. Salmon should be lightly rubbed with oil, salt and pepper, then seared skin side up first for just a few (2 - 3) minutes, then seared skin side down for just a few minutes. Doing it in that order will keep the skin attached and help seal in the juices and oils -- some people enjoy eating the skin. When the fish is nicely seared, remove from the grill and put it into a slow oven (about 225 degrees F), skin side down, for about 15-20 minutes. Serve with a dollop of beurre maitre'd.

Until it flakes apart, Normally I put spices on the not skin side and put that side down for 5-10 minutes then I flip it and wait another 5-10 minutes, if it is taking too long to cook I will sometimes take off the skin or cut the meat in half.

Grill for 10 minutes per inch of thickness measured at thickest part, or until fish just flakes when tested with a fork. Turn halfway through cooking.

Wrap it in aluminum foil, skin side down.
