1
Marinate the Salmon
In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
2
Add Salmon to Marinade
Place the salmon fillet in the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

3
Prepare the Grill
Soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Prepare a grill for indirect heat and preheat to medium-high.
4
Place Wood Chips
Drain the soaked hickory wood chips and place them directly onto the hot coals or in a smoker box if using a gas grill.
5
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and grill for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
