you don't need to struggle with salmon anymore
i'm here to help you
this turned out absolutely amazing
here we go
what's up you guys
welcome back to the channel
my name is nick
and in today's video we are smoking this salmon
so today the first thing that we're going to be doing
to smoke the salmon is
we're gonna cut these down into about four to six ounce fillets
i don't want to use the whole strip of salmon
so the seasoning that i'm gonna be using
for our salmon today is killer hogs barbecue rub
i think it has just enough brown sugars and citrus in there
to be perfect for the salmon
and it's going to give it a nice barbecue taste
along with when we glaze it
we're using a honey balsamic glaze
i think the two flavors are going to pair perfectly
and i'm also using his recipe
so i'm going to try out what he says
all right so we're gonna be go ahead and seasoning up this salmon now
we're gonna get a nice little coat on top
and then we're gonna flip these pieces over
and we're gonna be getting the sides of them
we're not gonna worry about the skin
all right so now that we have our salmon season what we're gonna do is let this sit
out at room temp for about 20-ish minutes or so we're just gonna let it sit until we have
our grill up to temp so we're gonna go ahead and start our smoker now all right so we're
gonna go ahead and preheat our smoker we're gonna be cooking this at 300 degrees a day
today we're going to be using pecan pellets we're going to go ahead and fill up our hopper
these are the pecan pellets that i use i love them they are bare mountains pecan pellets i think
they're amazing for a lot of different foods and i didn't put in that much because we're cooking this
at 300 it's only going to be about a 30 minute total cook so as soon as we put these bad boys
on here only 30 minutes until eating's on so now we are going to make our glaze we got soy sauce
minced garlic crushed red pepper balsamic vinegar honey and brown sugar so let's get to mixing i'm
doing a quarter cup of soy sauce next we're doing our quarter cup of balsamic vinegar
a quarter cup of brown sugar but we're just going to go ahead and take about a nice handful and just
dump that in there so the next thing we're adding is a teaspoon of this minced garlic
we're going to add in crushed red pepper flakes about a teaspoon of this too but
we're just going to dump some in and last but not least we're going to be adding in about 2
tablespoons of this honey we don't need to measure though we just dump some honey in
so now that we have our sauce made up what we're gonna do is put it on the stove top
we're gonna reduce it down over about medium low heat for about five to seven minutes just until
it thickens up a little bit because right now it's really runny we want all that honey balsamic all
those things to really well incorporate together that way it's one nice glaze it's time to go put
our salmon on the smoker but before i do i just want to show you how beautifully
this salmon is sweating out it's really looking great just take a look at that guys it's soaking
up all that seasoning in into the salmon and this is gonna be great before we go ahead and put our
salmon on there what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna go ahead and take some of this spray and i'm gonna
spray this down just so the skin doesn't stick to the grates you don't need much just give it a
nice little spray and that should be good we're going to go ahead and put the salmon on there
oh it's sizzling looks great that we got our salmon on we're gonna let this hang out for
about 20 minutes and we'll come back out at that point i'm gonna glaze it up let it sit
for about another ten minutes and then we're gonna pull it off really what i'm looking for
is when it starts to flake really nice i don't care about the internal temperature
it's not like chicken we're asked to be done completely well people eat raw fish all the time
i just want this to be flaking really really nice
so it's been about 20 minutes we're going to go ahead and glaze our salmon now
all right so now that we got it glazed we're going to go ahead and let it sit for about
another like five to ten minutes just check on it and see when it's starting to kind of flake apart
that's when you know it's done and then what we eat so it's been about another 10 minutes
we're gonna go ahead and open up for smoker take a look at the salmon and see where we're at
so as you guys can see here it's starting to flake apart really nice
when you poke into it it starts to peel apart and that's how we know that we're
done here see look at that it just starts to flake apart that's why you know your
salmon's done so we're gonna go ahead and get these off and get them onto our plate
and it'll be in time okay guys this is the moment we've all been waiting for the salmon is
done and we're gonna go ahead and take a bite but before we do that let's give you
a quick recap of what we did today we started out with these beautiful with a beautiful big
filet of atlantic salmon we chopped it up into about four to six ounce little strips like this
then after we did that we went ahead and seasoned it we let it sit out for about 20-ish minutes we
started our smoker up to 300 degrees we put in pecan pellets we let that get up the temp
then we went ahead and put these salmon that we rested at room temp we set them on there
let it smoke for about 20 minutes and then after that we made our glaze put our glaze on it
this is where we're at now 30 minutes later your salmon are fully done and they look absolutely
beautiful if you could see these just flake apart i mean this piece right here is just it
just flakes right off all right so let's go ahead and take a bite and see how it tastes oh my god
wow

it literally is great malcolm you're a genius if you made this recipe up
