Want some smoked salmon but don’t want to commit all the time it takes to correctly cold smoke it (the citrus cure, and extended curing process, etc). Well I have a pretty simple Smoked salmon that I really enjoy.
Back to one of the basic concepts take your favorite baked salmon recipe and convert it to smoked salmon. This is why I call it smoke kissed because typically you are going to cook salmon 30 minutes per half inch, so measure the thickest part of your filet typically you are looking at 45 minutes cook time. This short cook time gives the salmon just a light kiss of smoke. So fire up your smoker to bake some salmon!
1. Pre-heat your smoker to about 350 degrees (you will want to keep the heat between 300 and 375)
2. Take a piece of foil and fold the edges to create a shallow pan
3. Spray the foil with non-stick spray and place filets on the foil
4. Drizzle honey over the salmon filets
5. Sprinkle brown sugar over the filets
6. Lightly dust with cinnamon
7. Lightly salt and pepper
8. Smoke for 15 minutes per half inch of filet (lightly butter filets half way through if the edges are starting to get dry).
This is my personal version of baked salmon, I like the sweet from the honey and brown sugar and something about the sweet with the cinnamon just pops. Like I said take your existing recipe and try it on the smoker, there are literally HUNDREDS of baked salmon recipes online.
