Notes
double check all ingredients to ensure they are gluten free
I used sockeye salmon, but feel free to substitute with what you have available
ensure frozen salmon is thawed
because I don't live near the coast, I find frozen salmon to be my best option
there's no need to remove the skin from the salmon fillets before grilling, leaving them on will help hold the salmon together and they will remove easily after they are cooked
use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the salmon to ensure it doesn't get overcooked, I prefer salmon cooked to 145 degrees F
