Equipment

  • Wood Pellet Choices: Apple, Cherry, or Signature Blend

Ingredients

  • 1 salmon fillet about 2 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create your marinade.
  • Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon coating evenly. Let the salmon marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the salmon from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Preheat the smoker to 180°F.
  • Oil the grates of the smoker and then place the salmon filet directly onto the grates, skin side down.
  • Close the smoker up and let the fillet smoke for 1 to 1½ hours. Check for an internal temperature of 145°F or until the salmon meat flakes easily with a fork. (Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness and type of salmon)
  • Once the salmon is done, remove it from the smoker and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with fresh lemon wedges, dill, capers, or a creamy herb dip.
