  • When ready to grill, start your Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until you see smoke appear (takes 3-5 minutes). Set the temperature to 350°F and preheat with the lid closed for 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove salmon from marinade and place skin side up on grill. Cover (close the lid of the grill) and cook for 4 minutes. Flip carefully using a spatula. Cook for 20-25 minutes longer until fish is flaky. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can halve this recipe to serve 2-3 people.
  • If you don’t have a Traeger grill, this can be prepared on a gas or charcoal grill over medium heat (350°F) as directed in recipe.
  • This salmon is great leftover – I love to flake the cold salmon on a leafy green salad.
  • Nutrition information calculated for only half of the marinade since much of it is discarded.
