smoked salmon on foil

Ingredients  

Salmon

  • 1 filet salmon 3 pounds
  • 2 tbsp seasoning

Dry Brine

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper

Marinade

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 lime juiced

Instructions

  • Combine dry brine ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Apply liberally to both sides of the salmon. Put the salmon on a wire rack in the refrigerator for at least an hour. 
  • When you're done with the dry-brining process, remove the salmon from the fridge, and apply the dry rub and marinade. Allow the salmon to rest for at least 10 minutes.
  • Place the salmon skin-side down on a pre-heated 225F smoker and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 125F, which should take around 45 minutes, depending on how big your salmon is.
  • Once the salmon is done, remove from the smoker and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with some dill sauce and ENJOY!
