Mike, have you cooked this per the recipe? 20-25 min, plus the 5 minute carryover seems a bit longish time wise to have a moist outcome.

@Uncle Bob I've cooked salmon on my RecTec Bull several times. I always cook based on internal temp of 130-145, which is usually around 15-20 minutes in the 400-450 cooks.

I'd recommend to experiment a bit and find what works best for you.

Thanks for the confirmation Mike, my cooks in that temp range typically run closer to the 15 minute mark too. I realize there's a thickness factor as well, I only do wild caught salmon which aren't particularly thick (1/2" at the thickest). And as usual, temp over time as the guideline is best.
