spin on 5cents smoked salmon... traeger style dinner

[yankemnbankem]

Ok, Since Ive tried 5cents smoked salmon recipe (thanks man, it IS the best) I have made up a BBQ salmon using the same ingredients sans the brown sugar and it is to die for. I cook this on my traeger.

I throw all this stuff together by taste, smell and gut feeling.

1 salmon fillet
sprinkle on to your liking the following:

Garlic salt.
Celery salt.
Onion Powder.
black pepper.
white pepper.
lemon peel.
chinese yellow mustard (dried)
Dill weed.
(hope im not forgetting anything)

Baste on olive oil (you can also mix the ingredients into the olive oil and brush it on too)

Now I place the Salmon fillet meat side down on the traeger grill and setting on smoke for approx half hour.
Then I switch grill to 375 for another half hour.

Take off skin and discard. Flip the salmon over onto a plate so grill marks show (for looks and compliments of course)
Bring into the house and immediatly sprinkle on parmesan cheese.
Lastly add a few dollups of butter to top it off.

I guarantee you wont have any salmon left for lunch the next day!

Again, thanx goes to 5cents for the idea.:twocents:

We just sprinkled this same concoction on chicken breasts and ........ you have to try it out. Too good to believe.

I'll throw an endorsement in on this recipe. we plowed through this salmon tonight like a pack of ravenous dogs.

so you season it then cook it seasoning side down first ? sounds good but I would do it the other way to allow better penetration of the seasoning? I'm gonna try it tonight it sounds great. :applause:

brown sugar and fish go very well together in general!

Salmon Jeff. The seasoning still does fuse itself into the salmon meat. The upside down cooking gives it a greater flavor than the regular way. Smoke penetrates the meat better. Plus you get that nice grill mark searing on the meat when you flip it back over and you can also tell when your fish is done because the skin just peels off with a fork and you throw it in the trash before you take the meat off the grill. Works like a charm.

do you put brown sugar on it to or just the seasoning? I didnt see it in the recipie
