Salmon is a delicate fish that does well when lightly smoked and gently seasoned. Cooking it on a plank over a live fire gives it a great smoky flavor while letting it hold its shape.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 3 sprigs fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 pound salmon filet
- 1 plank food-safe wood, such as untreated cedar or alder wood
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 2 sprigs fresh dill, or more to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2
Combine butter, garlic, 3 sprigs dill, and salt in a heat-proof dish. Place in the smoker until butter is melted and infused with flavor, at least 20 minutes. Remove from the smoker.
Step 3
Lay salmon on the plank of wood. Brush salmon with the flavored butter. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the smoker and close the door.
Step 4
Cook salmon until easily flaked with a fork, about 40 minutes. Check at 10-minute intervals and baste with butter.
Step 5
Serve garnished with lemon slices, remaining dill, and remaining flavored butter.
Recipe Tip
Bake salmon in the oven instead of a smoker if preferred.
