Salmon Instructions
- Using your hands, rub enough of the brown sugar rub into the salmon fillets to completely coat the top of each fillet.
- Heat your grill or smoker to 225ºF.
- Let the salmon fillets sit while the grill or smoker is heating up. Also, at this time soak the wood chips or wood chunks in tap water for 30 minutes.
- When the grill or smoker has reached 225ºF, place the salmon on to a piece of aluminum foil skin side down and place it on to the grill or smoker for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes add the wood to the coals or smoke box. Let smoke for 30-45 minutes. Smoked salmon internal temp should be 145ºF.
- Remove the fish from the grill and run a butter knife in between the skin and bottom of the fish.
