Preheat broiler or grill. Cook salmon, turning once — five to six minutes each side for medium rare.
- Step 3
Place salmon on serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges and sprigs of rosemary.

Living on the Gulf Coast, I cook fish at least twice a week or more. Regarding Step 2, there is NO need to flip the fish; only bad things can happen. Remember, fish unlike beef, does not metabolize; It only gets heated. Here's an easier way. Bake the salmon skin side down at 350F for 20 minutes. If you wish, finish the Salmon under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, but not necessary. Same instructions for grill (indirect heat).
Stupid question: do you cook the salmon in the marinade or discard the marinade? Some recipes keep the marinade; some don't. I suspect this one doesn't, but want to make sure. Thanks.
I've always wondered the best way to flip a whole fillet of salmon the grill? Two spatulas? Thoughts?
Made this according to the recipe and wouldn't change a thing! Cooked it on the grill and it was simply fabulous!
This was amazing! I marinated overnight and it came out great. A quick note, when I made my marinade, I added salt to taste along with the soy sauce. After marinating overnight, it came out on the salty side, so if marinating overnight I would recommend to reduce the salt or omit it entirely!
As a dissenting voice among the rave reviews, I would say that this recipe is a strong letdown. The flavor imparted by the marinade is extremely weak and makes no real mark on the consistency of the cooked fish otherwise. Give this one a miss.
