Description
A delightful Traeger smoked salmon recipe that combines savory, sweet, and smoky flavors.
Ingredients
- Salmon fillets (wild-caught if available)
- Soy sauce
- Brown sugar or honey
- Fresh garlic (minced)
- Fresh herbs (dill, thyme, or rosemary)
- Lemon (for juice and zest)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Add fresh herbs and combine.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Preheat the Traeger: Set your Traeger to 225°F.
- Prepare the Grill: Use olive oil on the grill grates to prevent sticking, then place the marinated salmon directly on the grates.
- Smoke the Salmon: Close the lid and smoke for about 1 to 1.5 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with lemon slices and herbs, and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
Adjust the smoking time based on fillet thickness and personal taste for smokiness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
