Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Prepare the Brine

In a large bowl, mix together brown sugar, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and lemon zest.

2

Brine the Salmon

Submerge the king salmon fillets in the brine mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 8-12 hours.

3

Rinse and Dry

After brining, rinse the salmon fillets under cold water to remove excess brine. Pat dry with paper towels.

4

Prepare the Smoker

Soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 175°F (80°C).

5

Smoke the Salmon

Place the salmon fillets in the smoker, skin side down. Add the soaked wood chips to the smoker and close the lid. Smoke for 2-3 hours or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice smoky flavor.

6

Cool and Serve

Once smoked, remove the salmon from the smoker and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your smoked king salmon fillets!
