Marsh’s Grill-Smoked Salmon

This recipe for grill-smoked salmon takes “low & slow” to the next level by layering in a welcome smokiness. Marsh serves it with a yogurt-dill sauce that creates the perfect tangy contrast to the smoky/savory salmon

The Salmon

• 1 pound salmon fillet Available in Our Seafood Subscription Box

• 1 wood plank

• 1 cup wood chips

• ¼ cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup sea salt

The Sauce:

• 4 ounces Greek yogurt

• ½ lemon, juiced

• ¼ cup dill, chopped

• 1 shallot, minced

• 1 tablespoon capers

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Soak the wood plank and the wood chips in water for 30 minutes

Place wood chips in a smoker box or wrap in aluminum foil with some holes poked through.

Mix the sugar and salt together and coat the salmon with the mixture. Allow the salmon to cure in the fridge for 30 minutes. Once cured, rinse the salt and sugar off of the salmon, pat dry with a paper towel, and place on the wood plank.

Heat your grill to a low temp, around 200° F (use a small amount of charcoal banked to one side of a charcoal grill, or turn on one burner of a gas grill to low.) Place the wood chip packet directly on the coals or burner. Allow it to start smoking, about 5 minutes.

Place the wood-planked salmon on the side of the grill away from direct heat. Close the grill and cook for about 30 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.

Combine sauce ingredients while the salmon is smoking. Season with salt & pepper to taste and set aside.

*Marsh's Pro-Tip:* For an extra level of flavor, try adding herbs or other aromatics to the salt & sugar cure such as lemon zest & thyme, or juniper berries and dill.e salmon is smoking. Season with salt & pepper to taste and set aside.
