We may have all the tips for great grilled seafood in the world, but if your fillets are sticking to the barbie no matter how well you pre-heat or oil, Nils Noren has the easiest grilled fish hack you've never used. You've probably got access to corn since it's grilling season. Throw it on with this easy corn recipe, reserve the husks and watch your salmon come right off the grill with nary an errant flake (in other words, it won't stick but will still have that great smoky flavor).
"This is a great technique for grilling salmon, which can easily get burned and become dry. The fish gets the nice taste of the corn husks," says Noren.
