Steps

  • Step 1

    In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with the chives and flour and season with salt and pepper. Lay the salmon fillets on a work surface and season with Traeger Salmon Shake.

    Ingredients
    • 4 Cup Potatoes, dried hash browns

    • 2 Tablespoon chives, chopped

    • 2 Tablespoon flour

    • As Needed salt and pepper

    • 32 Ounce (8 oz) salmon fillet

  • Step 2

    Spread a thin layer of mustard on each of the fillets. Evenly pat the shredded potatoes onto the top of each fillet.

    Ingredients
    • 1/4 Cup dijon mustard

  • Step 3

    Place a 10 to 12-inch cast iron pan on the grill grate and preheat to 450 degrees F, High, with lid closed for 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Step 4

    After the grill has heated, pour the oil into the pan and allow it to heat for about 5 minutes. Carefully add the salmon fillets to the oil, potato side down.

    Ingredients
    • 1/2 Cup vegetable oil

  • Step 5

    Cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 8 minutes. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for 1 minute longer. Using a slotted spatula, transfer the salmon to plates. Blot off any excess oil.

  • Step 6

    Make the lemon butter sauce by adding white wine, lemon juice, cream, garlic, salt and pepper into a small pan. Heat on high heat and reduce by half its original volume. Remove from heat and swirl in butter.

    • 1  Fresh lemon juice

    • 3 Tablespoon white wine

    • 1/4 Teaspoon garlic, chopped
