How to Set the Stage for Stellar BBQ Salmon

As you can see, Bill’s recipe for salmon on the smoker grill is nothing but mouthwatering. In fact, you are probably itching to try it on your friends and family. But before you fire up your pellet grill, be sure you have all your ducks in a row. Otherwise, you will not elicit the best possible flavor from your pellet grilled salmon.

Below are some helpful suggestions from the know-it-alls at Grilla Grills. Trust us: We have thousands of hours of grilling and smoking under our tool belts. Lean on our perspectives and ideas to help you create a masterpiece for your next dinner, party, tailgate, holiday, birthday celebration, picnic or Sunday get-together:

• Buy some really awesome salmon. Now is not the time to skimp on anything, especially the star of the recipe. Purchase the best salmon you can find, even if it costs a little more. Adding a dollar or two per pound to get a tastier, more robust piece of salmon that will burst with flavor is totally worth it.
• Clean your pellet grill so it shines. Before your salmon ever hits that grill, give the grill a thorough once-over. Scrub it well so no old food is lingering to mess with your new ingredients. That way, your salmon on the pellet smoker will taste amazing and not absorb any other odors.
• Play around with different flavors of wood pellets. At Grilla Grills, we offer a variety of pellet types, including apple, pecan and hickory. After making this wood pellet grilled salmon recipe for the first time, try it again with a different pellet. You might be surprised at how it can change the undertones of the dish.
• Insist on the freshest ingredients. Never cut corners anywhere, even on the spices and seasonings you use to make your BBQ salmon. It really will pay you back to be picky. Your family may think you are a little crazy, but they will respect you when they chow down on this amazing entree.
