While it only takes salmon a few hours to smoke, it tastes like you smoked it all day. The fatty, soft meat and the skin absorb the aromas incredibly efficiently, giving off a pleasing smell as you take a bite. This Lemon Smoked Salmon Fillet recipe is first cured overnight in your refrigerator and then smoked for about 2 hours, low and slow on your Louisiana Grills Wood Pellet Grill.

- 1 tbsp Cracked Black Pepper
- 8oz Gin or Vodka
- 2 tbsp Kosher Salt
- 2, 8-10 oz Salmon Fillets, Skin Off
- 1/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Ground Fennel Seed
- 2, sliced Lemons
Special Tools
- Plastic Wrap
