Instructions
Preheat your smoker or pellet grill to 225° Fahrenheit.
Cut the salmon into 3-4 oz portions and place it on a sheet pan.
Make the salmon glaze by mixing all of the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
Brush the salmon pieces all over with the glaze.
Place the salmon directly on the smoker grill grates. Smoke at 225° Fahrenheit for about 60-90 minutes, brushing the top and sides of the salmon with the remaining glaze every 15 minutes until it is gone.
Begin checking the salmon around the 1-hour mark. It is done when the internal temp reaches 145° Fahrenheit.
Remove the salmon pieces from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Or, place in an airtight container and refrigerate. The smoked salmon will last about 1 week in the fridge.
