Smoked Salmon on a pellet grill couldn’t get any easier than this! This recipe is only a few steps and the results will blow your mind… As a matter of fact it might just be the best dang grilled salmon that you’ve ever had! But you won’t know until you try it, and you can’t try it until you watch this video… so let’s get started.
Today I will be making smoked salmon on my Camp Chef SmokePro SG30.

I start my salmon off by brining for 16hrs with a very simple brine recipe:
4 cups water
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sea salt
When its time to get to grilling I remove the salmon from the brine and dry thoroughly with paper towel.
I used an olive oil binder on this salmon ( ), seasoned with a lemon pepper seasoning ( ), and the Sucklebusters Sugar Daddy ( )
One of the keys to smoking salmon is temperature! Temperature needs to be kept low. If you start to see white secretion from the salmon, your temperatures are too high ! Ideally we want the smoker temp to be 150-180F.
Interested in some of the best BBQ Rubs out there? I’m absolutely loving the Bearded Butchers rubs! Check them out here:
I start my smoker out at 160F for an hour. After the first hour at 160F, I increase the temperature to 175F and glaze the salmon every 30 minutes with (typically 3-4x). I smoked the salmon until the internal temperature of the salmon is 145F in its thickest part. It typically takes about 3 total hours to smoke the pellet grill salmon.
Honey Bourbon Glaze:
– 4:1 Honey to Bourbon ratio ( in this video it was 6 TBSP Honey : 1.5 TBSP Bourbon)
– Cajun Seasoning
– Garlic Powder
This best smoked salmon recipe is to die for and I think it’s time that you try it.

Picky dude! That’s an engineer
Just smoked my first salmon on the pellet grill following this recipe and it was amazing thank you for sharing!
Whats the glaze???
Would it be ok to put it at a middle rack same temp etc just wondering your like the bill nye of smoking salmon I’m new lol looks amazing
I live in Alberta and only salmon I can get is from the iga kinda scares me I don’t want farmed or parasites
😢 200 F is the lowest on my pit boss
As one person who bought into the pellet grill system said to me: "The pellets made it taste like a weird chemical"
And I would assume it's the binders in the pellets.
Yeah, good luck with that, I'll look into this when they come out with pure charcoal pellets with NO binders or additives.
This is disheartening. Just tried this on my new 575 pro traeger.. and it’s been 3 hours at 170 and the salmon is still at 97 degrees.
Hi can you do the same for trout ?
Beautiful work my friend !
I don't usually like, subscribe or comment, but i made some cheap salmon into the best smoked salmon I've ever had last weekend using these directions. Thanks a million Anderson.
By the way, I have destroyed two $30 briskets. I’m gonna check your out your video out to see if I can do my third one and make it absolutely breathtaking onto video number two. Keep the videos coming.
My brother ran across this recipe, followed you step-by-step. Thank you for this recipe. The salmon is amazing. Keep the videos coming.

damn bro that had my mouth watering lol im smoking a salmon next weekend. doing Ribs now
For your Honey Bourbon glaze, how much Cajun and garlic powder?
Thanks!
I just made this exact recipe with salmon straight from Alaska, you made my 4th of July! Good stuff.
Anderson, I'm new to the whole smoking art, and honestly, I kinda followed your information. The difference, I accidentally brimmed for 20 hrs, I didn't towel but laid up good extra virgin olive oil, and I placed the salmon on top of 3 lemons sliced after rub. Smoke setting for an hour and then glazed with Maker's Marks bourbon red label. 6 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp of the bourbon with spices. I glazed until nothing was left. 4 hours on smoke setting total and 1 hour on 200-225.
There is no white on top of the salmon. It was the best birthday dinner I ever made. 6/23 turned 38.
Just curious no dry time for pemmican to form? Well done video.
Way to much seasoning. The engineer missed a step. After removing fish from the refrigerator it's important to leave the fish sit at room temp for a 1 or 2. This will create a harder outer layer to retain moisture during cooking. Pretty important step in the process.
I tried smoking a salmon but it was way too wet it would not stay lit and the draw was fishy tasting 🤪🤪🤪
Hey my man is it good to cook in foil opened with some italian dressing and butter.
Respectfully Sir

I watch this video every time I cook salmon. Never fails
smoking fish it's a challenge for me.. .. following your videos!… thank you
Man that looks spectacular! I'm smoking salmon tonight, but dry brined it overnight instead of wet brining. I will season it with Honey Chipotle rub from R Butts R Smokin and then will glaze with a bourbon honey glaze similar to yours. Mine will be made with Mike's Hot Honey and bourbon.
Looks great. You should include how long your total time was . It looks like 11/2 hrs ?
