Smoked Salmon on Genesis II E-310 Propane Gas Grill – Recipe

Ingredients:

2 – 3 pound boneless salmon fillet
Pam Spray with Olive Oil

Brine:

Wood for Smoking: Apple Wood Chunks, soaked 1 or 2 hours in advance.

Instructions:

  1. Mix/Combine Brine ingredients fully using a whisk and allow to cool.
  2. Brine overnight in refrigerator, 8 – 12 hours.
  3. Rinse and pat the salmon dry with paper towels.
  4. Place the salmon on aluminum foil that has been sprayed with Pam spray.  Let the salmon rest uncovered in the refrigerator, for 2 – 4 hours.  It should have a shiny coating.
  5. Take salmon out to rest when warming the grill and wood chunks.
  6. Grill temperature for cooking should be 325° F.  Use indirect heat, with just one burner running during cooking.  The smoker box will also produce its own heat, so no other burners should be used.
  7. Place the salmon in the foil on the grill.  You can just lift the ends of the foil and place it right on the grill.
  8. Cook at 325° F., till internal meat temperature is 145° F.
  9. Enjoy!
