Molasses Glazed Salmon

Eating fish once a week is great for your health – so the doctor tells me – and preparing it on the grill is easy. For this Molasses Glazed Salmon recipe, I picked up a couple of fresh filets of Sockeye Alaskan Salmon. Also, feel each piece for any bones that may have been missed and remove those. Keep the fish cool in the refrigerator until ready to grill. For best results plan on cooking the salmon the same day you bring it home.

For the molasses glaze, combine Molasses (4 Tbsp) , Dark Soy Sauce (4 Tbsp) , White Cooking Wine (2 Tbsp) and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 pinch) in a small pot over medium heat for 2-3 minutes whisking occasionally. Pour into a small jar or bowl and allow to cool before glazing salmon.

Preheat Traeger grill for indirect cooking at 325 degrees F (160 degrees C) using pecan pellets for smoke flavor.

Brush each piece of salmon with Molasses Glaze and rest for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Season the salmon filets with pastrami seasoning and place directly on the cooking grate skin side down.

Cook until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F (55 degrees C) in the thickest part of each filet.

Remove salmon from grill and rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
