how long should salmon be cooked for on a bbq?

Answer 1

Best way is: take tin foil put the fish in there, cut tomato's and onion slices put the onion tomatoes all over the fish and inside where it has been gutted, add garlic, butter, lemon juice and a healthy dose of pepper. Close the foil and put it on the BBQ for about 25-30 minutes and when it comes off all the flavor will still be in there and it will be 100%

Answer 2

I cook it until it starts to flake. Probably less than 10 minutes depending on how thick the salmon is and how hot the BBQ is. Just gently poke it with a fork until the layers separate easily.

Answer 3

You should never cook it on a BBQ, especially if it's a fresh salmon. It's bad enough killing a creature and eating it, but eating it in the worst possible sense is just plain sacrilege. I hope the salmon isn't Scottish!

Answer 4

i like my salmon seared! that's when you cook it on high flame for about 2 minutes on each side. the edges are cooked and crisp and the middle is semi raw and moist. but for "normal" cooking just cook it on each side for 3-4 minutes, gently lift it off the grill with a fish spatula.

the timing i gave you should be enough where the fish cooks enough and separates away from the grill so you won't tear it!

don't forget to marinade for at least 30 minutes in advance! a little dill, lemon juice and pepper will do just fine.

Answer 5

This should only be on the BBQ for 20 mins..

Answer 6

we do Salmon all the time on the grill and its about 6 min per size on low heat.

Answer 7

depends on the size and how done you want it.
best rule of thumb is 8 min and inch, but if you want rare (quite good) then less

if you want it cooked thru, then try flaking it with a fork.

Answer 8

wrap it in foil with a tablespoon of butter and some dill and leave it for 15-20
