Description
This honey-balsamic salmon gets seared on a blazing hot grill for a perfect crust, then finished with a tangy-sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully in just minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6-8oz fillets)
- Olive oil
- King Craw Seasoning (or your favorite Cajun-style blend)
For the Honey Balsamic Glaze:
- 2 green onions (separate the whites and the greens), thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Salt & black pepper to taste (I used TX Brisket Rub)
Instructions
- Preheat your pellet grill to 400Β°F.
You want those high temps to help build a crust and lock in the moisture. - Prep the salmon:
Lightly oil each fillet and season generously with King Craw seasoning on tops and sides. Let it sit while the grill heats up. - Make the glaze:
In a small saucepan, sautΓ© the green onion whites and garlic in a little oil until softened (1β2 minutes). Add the balsamic, honey, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer until slightly reduced and syrupy β about 5β7 minutes. Set aside. - Grill the salmon:
Place the fillets directly on the grates. Cook for about 13 minutes, or until the internal temp hits 125Β°F. The outside should have a nice crust at this point. - Glaze it:
Brush the salmon with the honey balsamic glaze and let it cook another 1β2 minutes until the glaze sets and your salmon reaches 135Β°F internal. - Serve it up:
Pull it off the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Pairs great with roasted veggies, rice, or even a fresh salad.
Oil up salmon fillets, season them heavy with King Crawβor your favorite Cajun rubβthen throw them on a 400Β°F pellet or hot grill to build that craveable crust. While the salmonβs cooking, whisk together green onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt & pepper until it reduces into a syrupy glaze. Brush it on during the last couple of minutes so it caramelizes and locks in that sweet-tangy shine. Juicy, quick, and restaurant-worthy in just 15 minutes.
