The best grilled salmon recipe for summer and beyond! Salmon filets grilled juicy and tender, dressed in a delectable ginger-soy marinade with brown sugar and garlic.
Mix together marinade ingredients in a baking dish: soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Add salmon fillets skin side up into the marinade and place in the fridge for 15 to 45 minutes.
When ready to grill, start your Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until you see smoke appear (takes 3 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 350°F and preheat with the lid closed for 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove salmon from marinade and place skin side up on grill. Cover (close the lid of the grill) and cook for 4 minutes. Flip carefully using a spatula. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes longer until fish is flaky. Serve immediately.

Notes
You can halve this recipe to serve 2 to 3 people.
If you don't have a Traeger grill, this can be prepared on a gas or charcoal grill over medium heat (350°F) as directed in recipe.
This salmon is great leftover. I love to flake the cold salmon on a leafy green salad.
Nutrition information isn't entirely accurate since much of the marinade is discarded.
