Title: Traeger PTG Hot Smoked Salmon
Post by: smoker pete on February 19, 2013, 08:46:30 PM

The Money $Shot$ ...  Alder smoked Costco Farmed Atlantic Salmon, Dutch Oven Potatoes & steamed Asparagus.

Marinaded the salmon for 3 hours in Mr Yoshida's Traditional Teriyaki.  Allowed the marinaded salmon to dry in the fridge for 2 hours.  The Dutch Oven potatoes were lightly coated with EVOO and Lipton Onion Soup Mix.  Spuds were cooked on low for about an hour.

Preheated the PTG using the manual mode to ~ 180-200ºF (Output Value 15-18%) with Gourmet BBQ Alder pellets.  Hot smoked the salmon for an hour.   Bumped the temperature to ~ 300ºF (OV=30%) for about half an hour until the salmon IT hit 145ºF.  Rested the salmon under a foil tent for 15 minutes before serving.  The small white bubbles affectionately known by some as "buggers" were a result of the hot smoking process but for an hour and a half smoke/cook it is acceptable and did not hurt anything  ;) ... Another addition to my RV cooking repertoire!!

The boogers are just rendered fat due to the high heat cook. Nothing a little dab of a paper towel won't cure if your looking for a picture friendly product ;)

Salmon looks great Pete!
