Ingredients:

●     1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed

●     2 tbsp kosher salt

●     2 tbsp sugar

●     1 tsp black pepper

●     1 lemon, thinly sliced

●     Fresh dill, for garnish

●     Wood chips (apple or cherry work well)

Instructions:

1.    Prepare the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, sugar, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the salmon fillet.

2.    Marinate: Place the salmon in a dish, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate.

3.    Rinse and Dry: Rinse the salmon under cold water to remove the salt mixture. Pat it dry with paper towels.

4.    Slice the Salmon: Thinly slice the salmon and arrange the slices on a platter.

5.    Add Smoke: Using your Bon Apperoo™ culinary smoker, add the desired wood chips (apple or cherry work well) and follow the instructions to infuse the salmon with smoke for at least 5 minutes. Ensure the smoke fully envelops the slices for maximum flavor.

6.    Serve Immediately: Enjoy the smoked salmon shortly after smoking for the best flavor and texture. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh dill.

Pro Tip: For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of capers and finely chopped red onion on top of the smoked salmon slices.
