Salmon technique with pics
Options
Picked up some wild caught sockeye from the store today. Seasoned with lemon juice and BGE Kodiak River. Here's the sequence of pics and how I cook flesh first and the leave the skin on the grill and only plate the flesh. Used a few chunks of orange wood to give a hint of smoke flavor. I prefer this method over cedar planked salmon.

I just started using the ****tin buttons and now its gone!I LIKE your skin removal technique! Works every time?? I is because of the grill you have it on or would it work on a reg grill do you think?Lethbridge, Alberta LBGE & MM

Excellent Stem!
Yes, you can do this with the skin on any grill. -
Thanks guys. It's never failed @noregard, what has failed is the fish breaking and falling through the grate when trying to flip. That's why I use the expanded aluminum. The trick is to flip early before the fish can flake. Seperating the skin on the grill actually makes removing the fish from the grill easier.Steven

@stemc33 what were you cook times and temp? Look delicious :-bdMemphis, TN ----> Chattanooga, TN

Looks great @SkinnyV. Too much fish in one day for me though. Sockeye is definitely the best. I will never willingly eat farmed salmon. What did you use for brine and what temp on the smoked fish?Steven

Approximately 2 or 3 minutes with flesh to the fire. The fish sat about 7" above the coals. Skin side down cooked for about 8 to 10 minutes. Temp was at 350°. Once I flipped it, I slide open the DFMT every few minutes or so to peek at it. Once the fat started oozing, I pulled it. Salmon is like a pork butt in that the fat gives you room for error compared to other fish.Steven

Awesome...Great tip on the skin removal.. =D> Great plated pics..Greensboro North Carolina
When in doubt Accelerate.... -
Nice job. Need to try some orange. . I never flip. I just sear the skin on a hot perforated grate. Then move grate and fish raised or indirect

the smoked salmon was for later it was on sale ($10.99/lb) lol is that sale....so i decided what the heck. its the standard cure ive read here kosher salt, brown and white sugar with pepper. Wrapped and pressed overnight. Washed and dried few hours then rubbed with honey and various spices one even has coffee rub on there.stemc33 said:Looks great @SkinnyV.

Temp was 140 with the digi q. All worked out great, there may be salmon dip on Sunday.

Thanks at @SkinnyV, I had no idea the egg could maintain a temp of 140°, even with using a pit controller.Steven
