Quick and dirty hot smoked Costco farmed Atlantic Salmon.  Smoked the salmon filets for an hour (180º-200ºF) with Alder pellets.  Bumped the temp to 300ºF until the IT reached 140ºF (about another 25 minutes) ... Served with Vegetable Fried Rice and a little green salad.

The salmon looks inviting.  How did you prepare it prior to smoking?

When doing just a few filets I'll season them lightly with something like Old Bay & Cajun Seasoning, Lemon Pepper, Head Country championship Seasoning, Fagundes Famous Seasoning or salt/pepper to taste.

Or I'll marinade the salmon in Mr Yoshida's Original Gourmet or Traditional Teryaki for 4-8 hours, pat them dry and allow them to dry in the fridge (uncovered) for an hour or so and use the method described.

I only brine my salmon when I have a big batch and use my Bradley smoker.  Then it takes me 8-12 hours to smoke my salmon.  But I'll brine for a day and dry for a day ...

Mmmmm!!!!   Looks delish!  Definitely need to grill up some more fish soon!   Will have to make a trek to Costco to scope out some deals (Dallas is a pretty small town, so we get kind of iffy fishy sometimes.)  :)

We did a sweet version (sort of a riff off of Meathead's 'Schmancy Smoked Salmon') a couple weeks back, and it was SO good.  We cold smoked it for about 2 hours, then popped it over to the hot smoke till it got up to temperature.   The maple syrup and brown sugar made a slightly crispy coat, and it just melted in your mouth.

Looks simply wonder SmokinKat.  I'll give your method a shot next time using the warmer/smoker box on my MAK 2 Star ... Thanks
