Grilling or Blackening
If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the salmon for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. For blackened salmon, heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, being careful not to burn the spices.
