Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black peppercorns
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
2 pounds King salmon fillets, skin on (whole or cut in serving pieces)
1 large, flat disposable foil pan
Fresh Dill Sauce, recipe follows, for serving
1/2 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup plain yogurt, such as Stonyfield
2 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (4 scallions)
1/2 cup minced fresh dill
1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup seeded, grated hothouse cucumber

Steps:

The night before serving, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, the peppercorns, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a large flat ceramic or glass dish. Spread the mixture evenly on top of the salmon. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
At least 1 1/2 hours before you plan to cook the salmon, soak the wood chips in water.
Thirty minutes before you¿re ready to cook, heat the charcoal. Place a double layer of coals on one side of the grill, light them, and allow them to burn until the coals are gray on the outside. (I use a charcoal chimney to light the coals.) Sprinkle half the soaked wood chips on the hot coals (you will see lots of smoke). On the other side of the grill, place the foil pan and pour in 1 cup water. Place the cooking grate over the coals and the pan.
Scrape most of the sugar mixture off the salmon and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Place the salmon skin-side down on the side of the grill directly over the foil pan. Put the lid on the grill, making sure the top and bottom vents are open. Smoke the salmon for 10 minutes. Add the remaining wood chips directly on the coals and cook for 5 to 10 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until it's firm to the touch and barely cooked. Don't overcook the salmon or it will be dry!
Transfer the salmon to a clean platter and immediately cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Remove and discard the skin, if desired, and serve hot, at room temperature, or cold with the Fresh Dill Sauce.
Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt, cream cheese, scallions, dill, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree for a few seconds, until well mixed. Add the cucumber and puree for another few seconds, until combined. Pour into a container and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.

Tips:

Choose the right salmon: For the best results, use a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet with the skin on. Farmed salmon can also be used, but it may not have as much flavor.

Brine the salmon: Brining the salmon before smoking helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can use a simple brine made with salt, sugar, and water, or you can add other ingredients like herbs, spices, or citrus zest.

Smoke the salmon properly: The key to good smoked salmon is to smoke it slowly and at a low temperature. This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the salmon from drying out.

Make the chile salsa: The chile salsa is a great way to add flavor and heat to your smoked salmon. You can use any type of chile pepper you like, but be sure to adjust the amount of peppers you use depending on how spicy you want the salsa to be.

Serve the smoked salmon: Smoked salmon can be served on its own as an appetizer or main course, or it can be used as an ingredient in other dishes. It's a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
