Equipment
- Smoker
Ingredients
- 2 lb fresh salmon filet
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat the smoker grill to 250-275°F.
- While the smoker is heating up, prepare the rub.
- Mix the salt, pepper, brown sugar, and dill into a rub. Use dill leaves, not seeds as the seeds have too strong a flavor.
- Lay the prepared salmon out onto a baking sheet.
- Pat the salmon rub onto the surface of the salmon. This can be prepared an hour ahead and stored in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to absorb and settle.
- Smoke the seasoned salmon for an hour, or until the internal temps reach 145°F.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
