grilled salmon

Charred pink fillet

Grilled salmon is salmon cooked over direct heat, typically on a grill or grill pan, producing a charred exterior and flaky interior.

It appears on restaurant menus and in recipes as a standard preparation: I'll have the grilled salmon with vegetables.

The phrase functions as a lexicalized unit—ordering grilled salmon communicates a specific dish, not just a cooking method applied to fish.
