Traeger Grilled Salmon Recipe

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

2 to 2-1/2 pound side of salmon

3 tablespoons grass-fed butter, softened

1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped small

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

fresh lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Preheat your Traeger grill (or similar pellet grill) to 275°F.

Place the side of salmon skin-side down on a large baking sheet and pat it dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, add the softened butter, chopped shallot, chives, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Spread the entire butter mixture on top of the salmon in an even, generous layer.

When the grill temperature is at 275°F, transfer the salmon to the center of the grill grates, skin side down. Insert the grill probe into the center of the thickest part of the salmon fillet.

Cook for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature is 125°F-130°F (or to your own preference). I usually check it at 30 minutes (via the probe and a separate meat thermometer).

When done, transfer the salmon to a clean baking sheet. Serve with fresh lemon wedges, if desired.
