I dry brine over night in a 50/50 mix of kosher salt and brown sugar. Leave skin on. Fridge of course.

Take out of fridge, wash off remaining brine mix and pat dry.  Leave out to air while getting smoker ready.

Once pit is up to 225⁰, add a light sprinkle of kosher salt and a decent amount of brown sugar back on top of salmon.

Smoke for about an hour, or until internal temp is 145⁰.

Take off smoker and enjoy! I like mine over a bed of rice. But anyway you like it, it's fantastic!

You are going to need really big rolling papers and it might be hard to light.

For eating for dinner or smoke/preserving drying for snacks later down the road? For smoke/preserving drying, you can cold, or warm smoke it. Warm smoking can take 6-8 hours pending on heat, how tender, or dry you want it and cold smoke can take days.

Purchase a slab of salmon, skin on.

Six to twelve hours before smoking, dry cure the salmon with: salt, fine black pepper, white table sugar and fresh chopped dill.  After liberally applying cure, drizzle with a good quality silver tequila. Two to four ounces oughtta do it.

Preheat your smoker (critical).  When it’s approaching 225, rinse the cure off the salmon and blot dry with paper towels.

Place salmon on an elevated rack (smoke circulation) and place in your 225 - 250 smoker.  Oak is fine, pecan is better IMO. I like to pull it at 45 minutes; my wife prefers 60.

Matched with a good Chardonnay or some champagne, this cannot be beat.  Cream cheese, capers and onions make it better still.

This is the way. ^
We do it on the smoke setting at 160° and it takes a little over an hour depending on what season it is. We also make a basic honey bourbon glaze to brush over it twice as it gets close. Don't over cook it. Let it rest up to doneness. (about 5°-ish) I like the rice pilaf on the side with a little lemon but that's up to you to decide.

Second try:   This is the way. ^
We do it on the smoke setting at 160° and it takes a little over an hour depending on what season it is. We also make a basic maple bourbon glaze to brush over it twice as it gets close. Don't over cook it. Let it rest up to doneness. (about 5°-ish) I like the rice pilaf on the side with a little lemon but that's up to you to decide.

How I have done it:

Cedar planks soaked for at least 30 min.

Grill/smoker at 350 degrees

Lay the fish on planks skin down, put on any seasoning you want, and place them in the smoker. Around the 30-minute mark, you can start testing for flakeyness. When it flakes, it is done.

Gonna look at other posts for ways to do it without the planks, damn they are expensive.

I wet brine for 18-24 hours. Cup of each dry white wine and lower sodium soy sauce, 1 tsp kosher salt. Rinse the fillets and let air dry for 3-4 hours. Hot smoke at 250F for a couple hours. Blot any remaining fat off with paper towels.

Haven’t had any complaints yet. I do want to try cold smoking, and see what the taste difference is.

Just put it skin down on the grate? Would love to figure this out so I could do it without the planks.

Good clean and oiled grate. I use a ball of aluminum foil instead of a brush. Spray hot grate with pam. Coat fish in a good oil. I use avocado oil. Light oil coat, season of my choice, a few lemon slices and a sprig of dill if I get crazy. 250 for about 30 to 40 minutes, or it Temps 145⁰.

I do this with the conveggtor
