directions

- Place the Alder wood chips in the base of the smoker and position the drip pan and rack.
- Line the drip pan with aluminum foil and pour about 1/3 cup of the marinade into the drip pan.
- Lay the fillet on the smoker rack, skin side down, and cover with several layers of the sliced sweet onions, placing potatoes and peppers around the salmon.
- Cover and smoke in the usual fashion for 15 - 18 minutes.
- Transfer the fish and sliced onions carefully with a spatula to a serving platter.
- Garnish with the parsley and lemon wedges.
- Serve with your favorite dill sauce (my favorite Recipe #102047).
