3 Smoked Main Dishes
SMOKE:
1 hour
PREP:
30 minutes
YIELD:
4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
- 1 lemon, sliced
- ½ cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Directions
- I like to use 6 oz fillets to smoke pretty quickly, one trick is to take two slices of lemon place on the bottom of the salmon fillet and let the fillet rest on the lemon as it smokes. Another secret tip is to baste every 15 minutes with orange juice, honey and dijon mustard while smoking the salmon fillet. Set the smoker to 225ºF using cherry wood or apple wood. Smoke salmon for 1 hour.
