Grill skin down high heat after the grill has warmed up with a thin slice of tomato on top, dash of salt and pepper, sprinkle chopped cilantro and a drizzle of maple syrup on it.

Should only cook for a few minutes. Better undercooked than over! The skin should be almost a cracker, and the inside flesh should be almost raw, but cooked/flaky on the outside. It might take a couple tries to perfect the amount cooked, and it also depends on the thickness.

I’ve cooked a lot of fresh salmon in Alaska over the years. Nothing will beat this IMO.

How long for a 1 person sized slice?

It all depends on the thickness and grill temperature. A thinner side like this shouldn’t be more than a few minutes. I don’t want to give you a number though because there are too many variables between grill temperature, salmon thickness, if the grill is open/closes, etc.

I have a pellet fed pit boss. Should I put it over the flame or use the ambient heat?

Under flame is good, just not engulfed. Metal should be hot enough that is sizzles when placed on grill
