Steps

  • 1

    Season the salmon with Traeger Fin & Feather Rub.

  • 2

    Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, garlic, and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced by half and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10-15 minutes. Using a basting brush, coat the salmon with the glaze, reserving any leftovers for serving.

  • 3

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 350℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

  • 4

    Place the salmon fillet directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 25-30 minutes.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

    Transfer the salmon to a platter or plates and serve immediately. If desired, warm any remaining glaze and drizzle over top of the salmon. Enjoy!
