Any good smoked salmon or planked salmon recipes out there?
I've done cedar planked salmon on my other grills. Just looking for a good way to do it on the Egg. Smoked or planked.
Thanks.

You can do your planks on the egg same as other grills only better. A lot of people here take a maple syrup/butter mixture, melt and pour over salmon before serving.
Someone posted a thread below that look great.[p]

Here is a smoked salmon recipe using a dry rub instead of a brine.[p][p][p]DRY CURE: This makes enough Dry Cure for about 10 pounds of fish:
SMOKING TIME: Based on 3 to 4 lb. fillets

1 cup kosher salt; 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic;
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar; 1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground white pepper; ½ teaspoon pulverized bay leaf[p]On a cutting board, sprinkle a little of the salt onto the chopped garlic, and mash to a paste with the point of a knife. In a small bowl, combine the garlic mixture with the remaining salt, the sugar, ginger, pepper and bay leaf. Mix this very well. Store leftover in the freezer.[p]Sprinkle about 1/8” or more of dry cure into the bottom of a glass baking dish (don’t use metal). Place the fillets, skin side up, on top of the dry cure. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 8 hours. The moisture and oils in the fish will liquefy the dry cure and make a syrup which will cure the fish. After curing, rinse the fish very well under cold running water, rubbing gently to remove the syrup. Blot dry with paper towels and put on racks to air dry until tacky, at least 2 or 3 hours. (Salmon can be seasoned with crushed black pepper or whole green peppercorns if you like)[p]Brush or spray a light coat of olive oil or Pam on the skin side of the fish and on your rack(s). Place fish in smoker with the skin side on the rack and smoke at 180 – 200 degrees for 2 to 3 hours, using equal parts of alder wood and apple wood chips. Use a water pan below the fish. Check once or so to make sure the skin is not sticking to the racks. (spray skin side with oil if it starts to stick) Switch to cherry wood and maple wood for 1 or 2 hours. This will give the salmon a nice red color. Smoke until fish flakes easily (about 150° internal). Serve hot or chilled. This will keep in the fridge for 4 or 5 days, but it very seldom lasts that long.[p]

You should check with Woo-Doggies about his Salmon recipe. He had some at the Jack and man was it good. A little cream cheese, sweet onion and capers to garnish. Some of the best I've ever had.

Good luck Jake I find it very fun to do now and people actually bring me salmon to smoke for them lol. I find it better to do this on a rainy day as it adds moisture. Ideal temp is 185 don't be scared if it goes to 200 though. Let us know how it turned out!
