Salmon is one of the easiest proteins to throw on the grill — but getting it just right can be a challenge. This Honey Balsamic Salmon recipe takes all the guesswork out. I’m cooking it straight on the pellet grill, where it gets a nice crust on the outside while staying tender and flaky inside.

Honey Balsamic Glazed Salmon (Pellet Grill Recipe)
You get a perfect crust on the outside, juicy flaky salmon on the inside, and a sticky-sweet glaze that sets it all off.

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:
1. Preheat your pellet grill to 400°F.
You want those high temps to help build a crust and lock in the moisture.
2. 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.
3. Make the glaze:
In a small saucepan, sauté the green onion whites and garlic in a little oil until softened (1–2 minutes). Add the balsamic, honey, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer until slightly reduced and syrupy — about 5–7 minutes. Set aside.
4. Grill the salmon:
Place the fillets directly on the grates. Cook for about 13 minutes, or until the internal temp hits 125°F. The outside should have a nice crust at this point.
5. Glaze it:
Brush the salmon with the honey balsamic glaze and let it cook another 1–2 minutes until the glaze sets and your salmon reaches 135°F internal.
6. 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.

The honey balsamic glaze is sweet, tangy, and dead simple to make — and it takes this salmon over the top. From start to finish, it’s ready in just 15 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights, or anytime you want to serve up something that looks (and tastes) way fancier than the effort it takes.
