Smoked salmon on the gas grill – a delicious and easy way to enjoy salmon with a smoky flavor. With the FENNEK smoker box, you can achieve this delicious treat in no time. The tender, flavorful salmon fillet is perfect for a special dinner or as the highlight of your next barbecue.
Ingredients:
- 2 pieces of fresh salmon fillet (with skin)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp brown sugar (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp dried herbs (e.g. dill or thyme)
- 1-2 handfuls of smoking chips (e.g. made from apple, cherry, or hickory wood)
Preparation:
1. Preparation of the smoking box:
- Soak the smoking chips for about 30 minutes before grilling. This helps prevent them from simply burning during grilling, but rather slowly develops smoke.
- Then place the chips in the smoking box .
2. Prepare the grill:
- Preheat your gas grill to medium heat (approx. 180-200 °C).
- Place the smoker box directly on the flavor trays of your grill. You can also place it on the grill grate, although this will take longer for the smoke to develop.
3. Prepare the salmon:
- Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil on the skin side.
- Sprinkle the top of the salmon with salt, pepper, brown sugar (optional), lemon juice, and herbs of your choice.
- You can also garnish the salmon with some fresh dill for additional flavor.
4. Grilling:
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on your FENNEK "Shorty" flame-grilled salmon grill (indirect heat, not directly over the burners). This will keep your grill nice and clean.
- Cover the grill and let the salmon smoke for about 15-20 minutes. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has reached an internal temperature of about 50-55°C.
5. Serve:
- The closed surface of the Shorty allows you to serve directly, as no juice can drip onto the table, so you can also use the Shorty as a teapot warmer.
- To make the salmon look visually appealing, you can garnish it with fresh herbs and a slice of lemon.
- The smoked salmon goes perfectly with salads and baguette.
