Make this flavorful Pellet Grilled Salmon with a wonderful glaze and seasoning!
We love a good flaky and flavorful salmon, the pellet grill really won us over with this recipe. It was wonderfully tender and had a delicious taste!
This pairs well with Pellet Grill-Smoked Baked Potatoes too, these would just need to be put on several hours before the salmon is added.
Tips for making Pellet Grilled Salmon:
This recipe can be done with any flavor of pellets for your pellet grill; however, we prefer to use mixed pellets with several different flavors.
The salmon is going to be marinated in a glaze before grilling, so it’s best to prepare this a few hours in advance so the salmon can soak in the marinade.
This marinade is the same one used on these Glazed Chicken Thighs.
Once you are ready to grill the salmon, it’s best to either coat the salmon directly with grapeseed oil spray or the grates of the grill. I typically will coat the salmon. The spray works the best and is easy to just spray right onto the salmon.
When grilling, I have found it’s best to start grilling with the skin side down on the grates, then carefully flip the salmon over about halfway through the cooking time.
It can be garnished with fresh-cut lemon as well as parsley.
Can this be made gluten-free?
Pellet Grilled Salmon is easy to make gluten-free with a few swaps. Be sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce and Worcestershire Sauce.
This can be made with Coconut Aminos as well instead of soy sauce.
These are the only swaps needed to make this gluten-free.
Pellet Grilled Salmon is a wonderful, flavorful meal and it plates beautifully too. It’s a great meal to impress your family or friends with very little effort on your part!
