How to Smoke Salmon

  • Brine it.
  • Prep the smoker for indirect heat smoking at 225° F with alder wood chips for smoke.
  • Place the salmon skin-side down on a piece of foil and transfer to the smoker.
  • Smoke it until the internal temperature reaches 140° F.
  • Rest it for 5 minutes and enjoy.

How long should Salmon be smoked?

Keep the smoker temperature low for a long period of time and your smoked salmon will be moist, flaky, and full of smoky flavor. Set the smoker to 120 degrees F and let the fish roast for about 3 hours. If you are pressed for time though, set the smoker to 220 degrees F for smoked salmon in only 2 hours.

What kind of wood should I use to smoke salmon?

Hardwood chips.

Alder is the traditional wood used in the Pacific Northwest for smoking salmon, and I generally use hickory, but apple, oak, maple, and pecan are other good options. Mesquite burns too hot and fast for this low smoking.
