Smokey Joe Smoked Salmon

[Hottuna]

This was my third weber cook for weekend. Ive smoked a lot of fish in the past but never using a weber.

Started with two salmon fillets - I brined one in hawk hickory smoke cure and the other in a brown sugar and salt for about an hour.



Got the Joe up to 200-240f and placed them on the grill with some chunks of apple (thanks Jocool) Left them for 1hr and 20min. I mopped them with a brown sugar and water syrup 3 times during the cook.

They turned out bloody unreal

That looks great! Do you know if you can brine frozen salmon or does it have to be fresh?

If you have access to cherry, you should try that too. It has the amazing quality that whatever gives cherries their flavor survives the fire and carries over in the smoke to flavor the food. I'm not aware of any other smoking wood that does that. I particularly like it with salmon.

Good thing my dad has a cherry orchard as well as the plums and apples.

Thanks - it taste great too. Im sure you could brine the defrosted fillets.

You guys have cherries down there? I thought it was all eucalyptus trees full of hairy nosed wombats! (And lots of poisonous snakes.)

Oh man! Giant funnel web spiders!  You're right, I totally forgot about them.
