12of 20Grilled Salmon and Peaches with Basil-Pistachio GremolataView RecipeGrilling a large salmon fillet is a surefire way to wow guests at the table. It’s also easier than grilling individual fillets and adds a little insurance against overcooking. If you’re nervous about grilling the fish, take heart: You don’t have to flip it, the skin keeps it intact, and even though you’re cooking it over both direct and indirect heat, it stays put on the grill. The skin crisps up beautifully, and the spice rub adds bold notes that pair well with sweet peaches and red onion.
