 Instructions:

1. Preheat Pellet Grill:

  • Set to 375°F using applewood, cherry, or maple pellets for a sweet, clean smoke.

2. Make the Glaze:

  • In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic, and ginger.

  • Simmer for 5 minutes over medium heat until slightly thickened.

  • Optional: add cornstarch slurry for a thicker glaze. Let cool slightly.

3. Prep the Salmon:

  • Pat salmon dry and lightly oil both sides.

  • Season with salt and pepper.

  • Brush a thin layer of glaze on each fillet.

4. Grill the Salmon:

  • Place salmon on a grill-safe mat, foil, or skin-side down directly on the grates.

  • Grill for 10–12 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through.

  • Cook until internal temp hits 125–130°F (medium), or 135°F if you prefer well-done.

5. Finish & Serve:

  • Brush with final glaze before serving.

  • Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, or a wedge of lime if desired.

Pro Tips:

  • Let salmon rest 5 minutes before serving for juicier results.

  • Add a side of grilled asparagus, rice pilaf, or roasted broccoli.

  • For spice lovers: add a touch of sriracha or chili flakes to the glaze.
