Step 1
Season salmon steaks generously with Traeger Fin & Feather Rub.
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
2 Tablespoon Traeger Fin & Feather Rub
Step 2
If you have the Traeger ModiFIRE® Sear Grate, place it on the left side of the grill ridged side up. Preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 450°F; this will take at least 15 minutes.
450 ˚F / 232 ˚C
Step 3
Place bacon directly on the ModiFIRE grill grate or regular grates. Rub the corn with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Place corn directly on the grill grate next to the bacon. Cook the bacon until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp and the corn is charred in places, 10 to 15 minutes. (Remove each as cooked.)
