Itâs official: GIF has been named the Oxford American Dictionaryâs word of the year. The word--and the computer science behind it--has been around since the 1980s, but the GIF has gained popularity in the past few years as a popular means of expressing internet memes.
If the fillets still have skin, remove it after grilling. To grill salmon on a charcoal grill, place the fish on the grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork. Turn the fish once halfway through grilling.
Brush grill rack with oil. Drizzle olive oil onto skin-side and top of salmon; sprinkle generously with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Place salmon on preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill salmon uncovered 5 minutes. Using 1 or 2 large spatulas, carefully turn fish over. Grill until fish just begins to flake in center, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Transfer salmon to platter and serve immediately.
