"Based on the cooking guide that came with my stovetop smoker...this makes the easiest & most wonderfully moist & flavofull salmon in just a short time!!!"

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 1-2 filets
• Serves: 2-4

ingredients

• 1 -2 lb salmon fillet, skin on
• olive oil
• salmon seasoning (I use Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Salmon Seasoning)
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons alder smoke chips

directions

1. FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SMOKER or do the follwing:

2. Place the Alder chips in a small pile in the center of the smoker base.
3. Line the drip pan with heavy foil for easy clean-up & place pan on top of the wood chips.
4. Lightly spray the cooking rack with cooking spary & place in drip pan.
5. Rinse the salmon under cold water & pat dry dry with paper towel.
6. Brush olive oil on top of the salmon.
7. Sprinkle desired amount of seasoning on top.
8. Place salmon on cooking rack -- if more than one filet, be sure there's plenty of space between so the smoke can circulate.
9. Close the smoker lid tightly & place on preheated burner.
10. Cook on MEDIUM heat (or a little lower) for 25-30 minutes.
11. Remove from heat & carefully open the lid.
12. Check for doneness -- salmon should be opaque & flake easily when touched with a fork.
13. ENJOY!
