Big Green Egg Salmon Recipe
This Big Green Egg salmon recipe is tender, perfectly seasoned, and so simple to make on the grill. An easy summer to make for your family or guests.
This easy grilled salmon is a delicious main dish, perfect for summer cook-outs. I love serving this up with vegetable kabobs and grilled garlic scapes.
Cooking a big salmon steak or filet on the Big Green Egg turns out perfect every time. The Big Green egg cooks meat to perfection – the outside sears well and the inside is tender.
Fresh or frozen (and thawed) salmon will work perfectly. If you can get some fresh salmon in your area, this is one of the best ways to enjoy.

One of the Best Grilling Recipes on the Big Green Egg
We got a Big Green Egg grill which has been a game-changer, it’s by far the best grill we’ve ever owned. It cooks meat perfectly, makes incredible kabobs and stir fry, and we even bake bread on it!
There are a few Egg accessories that we love: our plancha grill pan which is great for veggies and stir fries, and a Dutch oven pot which I use to bake bread in while the oven is hot. We also get good use out of our meat thermometer which we always use to check the internal temperature of meats.

What’s In This Big Green Egg Grilled Salmon Recipe?
I love shopping for fresh ingredients through Misfits Market – they sell produce, healthy pantry staples, and fantastic food finds (even wine!) at a discounted price. Choose your favorite seasonal produce, save up to 40% off grocery store prices & save time by getting free delivery right to your door!
- Salmon Steaks – we got some delicious fresh salmon from a local fish market (the perks of living in New England!), but frozen salmon works just as good for this recipe. Make sure it’s thawed before cooked on the grill.
- Whole Grain Mustard – for a really nice flavor and texture. Using a really good mustard makes all the difference, so don’t use the basic yellow stuff for this recipe.
- Fresh Lemon, juiced
- Montreal Steak Spice: Our favorite spice blend, probably the one we use most in our home! Montreal Steak Spice is a blend of garlic, pepper, salt, oregano, crushed pepper flakes, and a little dill for an amazing flavor. Great for all kinds of meats and vegetables, we put this spice on everything!
How To Grill Salmon on the Big Green Egg
- Prep the grill – light charcoal at the bottom of the Big green egg, add the heat deflector (optional), grill grates, and plancha (grill pan insert) to the egg, and allow the grill to heat up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Meanwhile, place the salmon steaks on a plate skin side down. Add 1/2 tablespoon whole grain mustard to the top of each one, squeeze 1/2 lemon over each, then add your favorite spice blend to the top (I used steak spice).
- Once the grill reaches temperature, gently burp the egg, open the lid, and place the salmon skin-side down on the plancha grill pan. Close the lid off the egg. Allow salmon to grill for 8-10 minutes until salmon is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (always check using a meat thermometer).
- Remove salmon from grill pan, and serve!
