Ingredients
Scale
- 1 – 2 pounds whole salmon filet
- 1 – 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ½ – 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ – ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ – ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- cooking oil for grates
Instructions
- Preheat your wood pellet smoker to 180°F, adding your preferred wood pellets.
- Pat the salmon filet dry on a baking sheet using a paper towel.
- Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then evenly sprinkle brown sugar on top, pressing it gently into the fish. Use less seasoning for a 1-pound filet and more for a 2-pound one.
- Once the smoker reaches the target temperature, oil the grates with a paper towel using tongs to prevent sticking before placing the salmon directly on them. Close the smoker.
Notes
Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust seasoning according to the size of your salmon filet.
