• 1

  Season salmon steaks generously with Traeger Fin & Feather Rub.

• 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.

  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.)

  For the corn salad: When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cob. In a bowl, combine corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, black beans, cilantro, scallions, chopped bacon, lemon juice, olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Set aside while you cook the salmon.

• 5

  Insert a leave-in thermometer into the thickest part of a salmon steak. Place salmon steaks directly on the grill grate and cook until internal temperature registers 145°F.
