Smoked/Grilled Salmon

[Swamp Donkeyz BBQ]

My wife bought a couple of nice slabs of salmon at the store today. I've done catfish and white bass on the pit before but never salmon. Anyone have a simple recipe? Can it be done the same as catfish or bass? I want to keep it simple so I don't screw up some good fish.

My preferred is salt pepper seasoning then grill it. I like a high heat sear then finish indirect. For me if you finish Salmon till flaky it is dry so I take mine off before the flesh is flaky.

Sounds simple enough. I appreciate your help.

I have grilled direct


And cedar planked


When the pellicle forms (starts sweating) I glaze with 50/50 maple syrup/butter


Any fruit wood works for smoke but I go light.
A light dusting of your favorite rub would work.

This is for a next time grilling or bake or frying

Squeeze fresh lemon over salon in skillet- pan or on grill. If skin on skin side down in tiny bit of olive oil n butter- sprinkle with dill, or little basil. Cook till flaky.

If want little tasty .. Make a sour cream mix with either horseradish or wasabi paste to your liking with touch of salt n garlic glandular n lemon. Spread over salmon n let sit about 30 minutes before cooking or uses mixture as a sauce. If u like I after spreading on salmon. Just before baking or frying coat well with pinko breadcrumbs seasoned with salt n sometimes Romano grated cheese. Happy new year to all.

I cook it two different ways. The first way is simply with the salmon seasoning. It's made by Tones. It is mainly salt, pepper, dill, and lemon. I pretty much use it as heavy as a rub. The other way is make a marinade of soy sauce and brown sugar and let the salmon marinate for an hour or so. It basically creates a sweet glaze which is amazing.

I've never done it myself, but when I was a young un, my step dad would cook whole salmon in the dishwasher. Wrapped in foil with lemon and some seasoning, lay it on the top rack and run a cycle with NO SOAP. I never paid attention to the specifics but I remember this being a big hit a dinner time.

I like the ol' maple syrup-dark rum-mustard
marinade for pinkfish.
