    Can I Cook Salmon on a Griddle?

    • salt and pepper
    • lemon
    • optional herbs

    Tips and Tricks

    • For the best results, choose high-quality cuts of salmon. 
    • Overcooked salmon can be dry and chewy. To ensure that your salmon is perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness. Salmon is done when it reaches 145°F. 

    What Temperature Should I Cook Salmon on a Griddle?

    The ideal temperature to cook salmon on a griddle is medium to high heat. If your griddle has a temperature setting, preheat it to 375°F. You can also test the heat of the griddle by adding a few drops of water. If they sizzle, the griddle is hot enough to add the salmon. 

    How Long To Cook The Salmon On The Griddle

    Cooking time depends on the thickness of the salmon. As a general rule, a 1-inch thick piece of salmon should be cooked for a total of 10 minutes; 5 minutes per side. If your fillets are ½-inch thick, they’ll only need 5 minutes of cooking time; or about 2 ½ minutes per side.

    How to Tell When Is The Salmon is Done

    The most reliable way to check for doneness is to insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the salmon. Cooked salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F. If you don’t have an instant-read thermometer, insert the tip of a knife into the salmon. If the flesh begins to flake, the salmon should be ready to eat.   

    Should I Turn the Salmon On The Griddle?

    Yes, allow the salmon to cook on one side, and then turn it to the other side. This will ensure that the salmon cooks evenly on both sides. If the salmon has skin, place it skin side down and then flip it at the halfway point. 

    Which Side of the Salmon Should I Cook First?

    Start with the skin side down and then flip it to the other side at the halfway point. The skin will become nice and crispy and the salmon will cook more evenly.
