    Looks great!  I have a slab of wild salmon in the freezer that looks exactly like that!  (I know, it should be fresh).   I'd like to smoke it.

    Can you give some details on temp, time and what kind of wood you used?

    Also...can I smoke with the skin on?

    Thanks!  :plus_one:

    I prefer skin on.  It will make a mess on the grid, so put it on foil.  150  or so until the albumin starts to leak out.  This was a great cook, held steady at 150 the whole time.  I used cherry wood.  I coat with sweet rub uncovered overnight to dry the fish before smoking.

    Would love the recipe and instructions for this cook.... I have always wanted to try smoked salmon but never have. I think I could probably do this one.

    You have to find your own rub, this is my own secret recipe.  I would suggest Trager Sweet, or any other brown sugar and salt rub.  Place the salmon on a cookie rack overnight with the rub.  Once it becomes sticky and dense squeegee the excess rub off and smoke at around 150 until the albumen leaks out.  This is usually about one hour.  Refrigerate and serve on crackers with cream cheese, cucumber and red onion.
