• Fish grilling preparation and cooking tips:
  
  Preparation:
  
  Always keep the fish chilled or refrigerated until you are going to use them.
  
  If the fish that you are going to grill has skin intact, you can keep it. The skin will prevent the fish from curling up and flaking apart. When grilling is done, you can easily remove the skin.
  
  Before grilling always rinse the fish with water and pat it dry after using paper towels.
  
  To prevent sticking, always take time to brush the fish and the grill grate with a small amount of cooking oil. Put oil on the grates before starting the grill.
  
  Cooking:
  
  If you are going to cook thinner fillets and pieces of, use the direct grilling method with a medium hot grill.
  
  Place the fish on the grill grate over the direct heat source with its skin side up.
  
  Most fish need only to be cooked for 4 to 6 minutes each side. After cooking one side, turn it on the other side to be grilled for the same amount of time.
  
  A good indicator the fish is done is when the fish meat is flakey and opaque in appearance. To check, insert the tip of a knife in thickest area of the fish. You could also use a meat thermometer, the fish should be at least 145 degrees F.
  
  Salmon Health Benefits:
  
  The protein found in salmon is easily digested and absorbed into people’s body. Unlike other protein sources, salmon does not have cancer causing substances in it. Proteins or amino acids are vital to the overall health of the human body.
