Description
A flavorful grilled salmon recipe infused with smoky maple flavors, perfect for outdoor cooking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds salmon fillet, skin on
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your Traeger grill to 225°F.
- In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the salmon is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
- Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.
- Try using different types of wood pellets, like cherry or hickory, for varying smoky flavors.
