Watched this before hosting a dinner party on the patio and followed to a T. Turned out fantastic , 8 guests agreed. Great step by step instructions, excellent video. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@KevinHordesky]

First time cooking salmon for my wife. Followed this to the T. She said it was the best salmon she ever had. Clean plates doesn’t lie!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Love it!

[@GrzegorzDurda]

Just about every american woman hates fish lol.

[@pearlwatson3283]

Finally a simple & healthy grilled salmon recipe that doesn’t involve honey or maple syrup!!! I want to leave sugar recipes for desserts not meats. Thanks for showing how to cook it with the skin & how to remove it. I REALLY appreciate this recipe & video. Thanks for explaining the difference in farm-raised & wild caught fish. I just subscribed as a result & will be grilling this for my husband on Father’s Day. ❤

[@robertoramos8257]

If you’re tired of your salmon sticking watch follow this guys advice he knows what he’s talking about it worked for me family loved it and best of all no sticking

[@AnimeBlack13]

1st time ever cooking salmon, followed this prep and instructions. Now my family requests me to cook and how I learned. I told them about the video I watched. They can't enjoy this method enough. Thank you so much for your time and assistance.

[@patriciachirgwin3238]

Sounds great, Chef! Look forward to showing this video to my husband, the master of the BBQ - it’s going to make a lovely meal! Thanks!

[@Ms.Kelani]

If tuna is chicken of the sea, can we call salmon the filet mignon of the sea? 🤷‍♀️

[@HazyTrails]

😂😂😂

[@chrisryaninchoco324]

@Ms.Kelani salmons are freshwater fish.

[@SmoT76]

One of the best salmon videos I've seen👍

[@eyesea123]

I'm going to have to try that sauce! Sounds delicious! Thanks for the grill tips

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thanks for watching!

[@syllee4JC]

Thank you so much. It was simple and easy to follow. Great taste. My mom and my husband ate everything!

[@iluomobravo]

You’re extremely charming and likable. I like your videos a lot. I’ve cooked your recipes before and you’re the man

[@pelushpeluche7165]

I Love Salmon specially blacken Salmon Thank for all your recipes ❤

[@babybruh25dolphinfan48]

Talking about saving entrées, one meat choice at a time 😅. This was an absolute gamechanger. Thanks to you Sir, my family is heaping praises upon me for today's meal... but You Chef... You're the true hero 🙌🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👨‍🍳

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Appreciate you trying it. Many thanks!

[@LastTree]

Super! Came out chrispy delicious!

[@curtismatsune3147]

I went to a Japanese restaurant that served a salmon skin salad that was absolutely delicious. They crisped up the skin and put it over a bed of mixed greens, bean sprouts, grated carrots and other veggies then drizzled with a soy-sesame-miso dressing. The crispy skin was kind of like low carb fish croutons. It was wonderful and oh so healthy.

[@brentwhite7607]

Oo I love that fish crouton idea might steal that

[@mzh99]

Another good topper sauce for salmon: 1/2 c Olive Oil 1/4 c good quality soy sauce 1 Tbs Dijon Pepper (Optional) Minced garlic Whisk all ingredients in a bowl using a fork until you see if come together. Spoon over the top of the salmon.

[@spinphoto]

Fantastic process!

[@timclingenpeel7791]

Tried this and it was fantastic. The sauce is really good as well. Will use remaining sauce as veggie dip.

[@SaraMGreads]

Thank you! It came out perfectly!!!!!

[@tedjeanmahoney8547]

AWESOME!! You make it look like it's fun to cook. Thank you. - T MO

[@JemCand]

This video just saved my life. Thanks ❤

[@FXMAN66]

just made this tonight. Came out great! Tip, to save some time for your next cook, clean the grill grates right after your cook while the grates are still hot. It might just be me but I hate seeing crap from my last cook caked up on the grates.

[@MisplacedAmerican]

Wow, as someone that under wife order, I must cook it every week - Cilantro, Lime Cream sauce? that might work for me!!! Rock star, thank you

[@ChefBillyParisi]

My pleasure!

[@edithrice4671]

Oh my thank you very informative. Love it.

[@edithrice4671]

Kept thinking he looks different. I think is that you are not wearing a hat lol.

[@zekelucente9702]

I get a salmon rub from Etta’s at Pikes Place Market in Seattle they popularized cedar plank salmon. It’s a mix of brown sugar and Cajun spices and the salmon comes out with a beautiful spicy sweet glaze. I also want the plank to get charred giving the salmon a mild smoky flavor.

[@billbryant1288]

Excellent!

[@MadPick]

Great video, thank you. I'll happily cook any kind of beef or pork, but fish still intimidates me!

[@TeresaCAUBLE]

Looks delicious 🤤

[@Oct14cya]

With the cedar plank make a slurry of brown sugar mixed with either sherry or pineapple juice. Brush it on the salmon then sprinkle steak seasoning on it. Put the lid down and cook till done. Delicious!

[@jimsface]

Delicious!

[@stevenbrooklyn4825]

Great tips. I always have trouble with it sticking

[@johnlind5819]

This is a great video with perfect ways to grill salmon! I have to say, if you can get it and also afford it, wild caught salmon is the best way to go. It tastes better and is a far more healthy alternative. Thanks for the video, John Gig Harbor, WA

[@yaxomoxay]

You should do a short on Spaghetti alla Carrettiera. One of the easiest and yet tastiest dishes ever. 😊it would save lots of people that “don’t have time” to cook.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

👍👍

[@shibaak]

Finally someone who understands you should not immerse your food in seasoning!

[@siLveRscOpe13x]

God I love Salmon. Thanks for this. Got a grill recently and trying to learn to use it

[@klwoods21]

I cooked this just as you said only difference is thank god I have a temp pen because it took about 15 minutes not 5 minutes as you stated but that may be due to me using a pellet grill not a gas grill. Regardless my salmon came out perfect my girlfriend said it was the best she had ever had this is going in the rotation. Thank you!

[@SouthwestTed]

Trying this tonight

[@allans7281]

Terrific video I love your step-by-step and easy to fall along instruction What about wrapping salmon in tinfoil and putting it on the grill I personally like the chard ends on the salmon

[@Mr_Wht]

Whatever you did here I do almost the same and omg my Wild Atlantic Salmon comes out so fkn good! I will try that sauce next time. Literally just finished eating it as we speak 😅

[@sibyl999]

Man I could eat salmon every day too!

[@1107suze]

I'm drooling! I don't have a grill or BBQ tho. Can I do everything the same but just bake it in the oven? If so, what are the tips for baking it in the oven?

[@nickcarranza4687]

Just grilled my first salmon. Followed ur instructions, while grilling im going to over cook it, i know it, but 4min plus 2 additional min, pulled salmon off grill, got a fork took a bite, damn this is really good, thanks for the help.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@jklphoto]

Nice job Chef. We enjoy fresh Atlantic Salmon at least once a week, cooked over natural lump charcoal on our BGE. You mentioned fresh wild vs. frozen Atlantic, but I did want you to know there is another choice. It is available from a surprising source, America's largest retailer and since it is fresh, a far better alternative to the frozen from Whole Paycheck ;-)

[@lefty-bw1zp]

Fresh, never frozen salmon is also sold at the grocery retailer that requires customers to pay 25 cents to rent a cart and requires customers to bring their own bags.

[@user-zx1ir7jt4c]

​@@lefty-bw1zphmmm.... would that be a German company by any chance?

[@Bellathebear777]

​@@user-zx1ir7jt4c & in 2020 when the writer asked him, "whattabout wal fart?" He replied, I don't care about wall farts🎉❤❤

[@Coinbustersio]

Did this today cooked perfectly No sticking

[@SoulReaperSlayer19]

I think I’m going to try your wife’s sauce! I don’t mind the taste of salmon, but I do love my meat drowned in green goodness

[@safreeny1]

Nice 1st thing i hv to do is buy that griller

[@peteluetz2586]

Is it better to use avocado oil instead of olive oil because of the smoke point. I thought that olive oil would burn easier at high temperature

[@mrgilboa]

Not sure why? But Im so happy to see your hair!

[@cstrubes1]

What do you do about grill flare ups? With the salmon fat dripping, this method was an absolute nightmare. I think I’ll need to go back to using the grill basket.

[@mccheddachaser8037]

Skin is awesome

[@spankymcduff9683]

Regarding the kitchen towel..remember to let it cool down before putting it back in the towel drawer.

[@littler9870]

can we use greek yogurt instead of sour cream?

[@cpaoni1]

Here’s a weird question - how do you clean your cutting board after you finish and need to clean up ?

[@sigiSLO]

Even more important to keep the fish dry and oiled and oiled grates if you grill the whole fish.

[@cutecatscatlovers]

Lovely 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐

[@Editz_allday]

[@HockeyGuy_in_STL]

ER doc here. Please never use grill brushes with wires. All it takes is for one little wire to break off and become hidden in your grilled food. This wire can get stuck in your throat resulting in an unnecessary trip to the ER where we have to get it out! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@ncrrulez]

Good point! What I do for that is I clean it with a wire brush and afterwards when it’s heating up I use an onion to clean the grill. In theory it should pick up any wire

[@jpartidamtb]

I’m no ER doc here but, consider the long term effects of onions: Oral health issues: The juices from raw onions can irritate gums and cause bad breath, while the fibrous texture can get stuck between teeth and lead to plaque buildup. Digestive discomfort: Raw onions contain fructans, which can be difficult to digest and cause bloating and gas. Allergies: While uncommon, people of all ages can be allergic to onions. Symptoms include swelling, trouble breathing, itching, and hives. People with onion allergies may also react to other edible alliums, such as garlic, chives, scallions, and shallots. Anaphylaxis, a rare but severe allergic reaction, is possible in people who are severely allergic to onions, especially if the onion is raw or lightly cooked. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency that requires immediate care. Medications: Onions can interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners, which contain compounds that may have anticoagulant properties. Onions may also lower blood sugar, which can be harmful for diabetic patients, especially during and after surgical procedures. Huge brain buster…. With a biased opinion and a shallow view of the world you’ll brush off anything and everything coming your way. I’d never go back to your office if you told me this 👆 Biggest takeaway is “common sense…” Don’t grill if you have bad vision or can not see the deteriorated brush “solid” bristles.

[@johnmiller4282]

Finally,someone said it. I don’t like the skin. All these cooking shows swear the skin is the best part. Yuck

[@crosslinezero3572]

It's absolutely the best part

[@Bellathebear777]

It's delish🎉❤😂

[@123gregyD]

Yuck to you

[@MiguelCastro-jc8fj]

It is

[@TheBowery22]

If you peel off the skin like he does, then put it back on the grill with the fatty side down. After a few minutes, the fat will burn off and the skin will be crispy and delicious.

[@MrSeeit17]

GET SOME COMMERCIAL GRILL GRATES...GAME CHANGER!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

That is a commercial grill.

[@MrSeeit17]

Actually @@ChefBillyParisi

[@MrSeeit17]

Actually, they are replacement grates that will replace your bar grates. Check them out,

[@ChefBillyParisi]

I know what you’re talking about, but those aren’t commercial grates :-)

[@Prime_Edits_Rift]

Awesome Recipe! Can you guess Who I am? Here's I hint: Im your favorite Nephew...

[@burnbluefox]

The door? It's called a lid.

[@micah1754]

Looked a bit overcooked to me chef. I love it with skin rendered out and crispy, but still blushing pink in the middle

[@jeil5676]

Do you really need a glove for that? Just wash your hand and spare us the disposable micro plastics you create.

[@robertjennings7282]

I'm sorry, but cleaning the grill after you fire up the grill seems like a terrible idea.

[@stevem8602]

Farm salmon is poison

[@burnbluefox]

Hate to say but this is by far the most nonsense video I've seen on KZbin. The salmon is more salmon flavored.

[@markh2846]

you lost me at "...take the skin off the salmon..."

[@ChefBillyParisi]

I give options for on or off. Thanks for watching!
