Smoked Salmon

Ready to come off the Egg

Smoked salmon is a relatively inexpensive alternative to beef, and a lighter alternative to pork.  It's also just as easy. 

For this cook I bought a 2.5 lb filet, marinated it in lemon + lime juice with a coating of Dizzy Pig Raging River Rub  for roughly half an hour, then placed it over a layer of sliced lemons (MadMax showed me this trick) in lieu of aluminum foil.  I used an indirect setup with platesetter, and used drip pans filled with water + lemon + lime juice.  I also threw in some cherry wood chunks for a light, fruity smoke flavor.


Close-up

Roughly 45 minutes at an average dome temperature of 350 gives a medium doneness in the thickest part of the filet.  Baking in the Egg like this really gives you a moist cut of fish.


Plated with sides

Don't forget to add some sides : garlic mashed potatoes and a fresh salad with mushrooms, hearts of palm, and artichokes made for a delicious medley of flavors for this meal.


Don't forget the ambiance!
