Perfect Grilled Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 salmon fillets, skin-on, 1/2 lb. each
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation
    Prepare grill: Place sheet of aluminum foil on grill grates, tucking in ends to secure. Pre-heat on high for 15 minutes with lid closed. This gets the grill grates super hot!
    Remove foil and wipe down grates with oil until black and glossy, about 10 times, not just 2 or 3! This is super important for keeping fish from sticking.
    Rub fish with a little oil and season to taste on both sides.
    Place skin side down and grill 3-5 minutes depending on thickness and degree of doneness you prefer. I like med. rare so I do 3 minutes for about 1 1/2 inch fillets.
    Flip when fish releases from grate on it's own. If it sticks, it is not ready to flip (or you didn't grease the grill enough).
    Cook another 3-5 minutes on other side or until fish reads 125 degrees, depending on your preference.
