Notes
If you want to get more of a crust on the flesh of the salmon. Start cooking the salmon on oiled grates flesh side down. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, then using a grill spatula, turn the salmon so it's now cooking skin side down. From this point, baste the salmon every five minutes with the teriyaki sauce.
