Instructions

Method

Set EGG for direct cooking at 450 – 500°F / 232°-260°C

Pro tip: set EGG for direct with EGGspander, without the convEGGtor, for an even cook.

Prep Salmon: In a small bowl combine all the rub ingredients, and in a separate bowl combine all the glaze ingredients and set aside.

Season Salmon: Coat salmon pieces in olive oil then sprinkle the dry rub over the salmon liberally.

Grill Salmon: Place salmon, skin side up, on the grill over direct heat. Let it sear for up to 4 minutes. You know it’s ready to flip when it doesn’t stick to the grill. Flip, close lid, and continue cooking for another three minutes skin side down.
