What each ingredient does

Salmon cutlets
Forms the main protein that cooks through and becomes flaky over the fire.
Oil
Coats the grill bars so the fish releases cleanly without sticking.

The step that matters

Lay the salmon cutlets on the grill. The grill must be thoroughly hot and oiled first. A hot, oiled surface sears the fish quickly so it releases cleanly instead of sticking and tearing apart.
