Smoked Salmon

Ingredients

  • 4 oz - Salmon (either skin on/off)
  • 2 TBSP - Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 tsp - Garlic Powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp - Course Black Pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Spread dijon mustard all over the top and sides of the salmon
  2. If you want, add garlic and pepper over the top of the salmon and dijon to give a little extra flavor.
  3. Smoke around 225f -250f for around an hour depending on size of salmon. You'll want to pull it off around 125f. Don't overcook or it will quickly start to dry out.
  4. Let rest for at least 5-10 minutes

Cook notes

Want to try with horseradish spread on the top mixed into the dijon. One of the variations in the photo was a mixture of dijon mustard and a bit of mushroom soy sauce. Gave a nice flavor.
