Ingredients

  • Fresh wild-caught salmon fillets

  • Melted butter

  • Fresh lemon juice

  • Sea salt

  • Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • Add soaked wood chips of choice (I like a fruit flavor like apple chips, but for a stronger taste, hickory does well too) to the smoker.

  • Preheat to 160F.

  • Generously coat salmon fillets with melted butter and lemon juice mixture.

  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Place in the smoker.

  • Smoking time can be up to 3 hours for fillets to reach 145F.

  • Do not wrap in foil or paper.

  • Check to see if the fish will flake easily.

  • Serve immediately with fresh lemon slices on top.
