salmon fillets

🥗Healthier: trout

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Trout is a healthier fish option, while canned salmon is budget-friendly.

Cut the salmon fillet into 2 inch cubes.

Prepare the marinade: microwave the bottle of honey for 20 seconds to warm it up. Combine the lemon honey, teriyaki marinade, and sriracha seasoning and mix.

Place the cubed fillet pieces in a large sealable gallon bag and pour in the marinade to coat evenly. Refrigerate and let marinate. You'll get the most intense flavor if you can marinate overnight (6+ hours). If you don't have 6+ hours, simply reserve & cook down some extra marinade to drizzle on top or to serve as a dipping sauce for added flavor.

To reduce/cook down the marinade, bring it to a rolling boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir occasionally, and let the sauce cook down until it reaches your desired thickness.

Before cooking the salmon bites, lightly dust with Traeger Grill Fin and Feather Rub and sesame seeds.

Cook in a Traeger Grill/smoker, air fryer or oven at 250°F for 30 minutes, then glaze with the reduced sauce and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes. Cook until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

Optional: Garnish with chopped green onion or chives, and place a thinly sliced jalapeño ring on top of each salmon bite. Drizzle with reduced marinade and serve it as a dipping sauce on the side!
