A stovetop smoker delivers amazing flavor with very little effort. And salmon is a particularly effective food to cook in a stovetop smoker; after 20 minutes in the smoker, the salmon is buttery-tender, and takes on a rich, subtly smoky flavor. Alder is a classic wood chip pairing, but you can use your favorite type of wood chips to make this smoked salmon recipe. The teriyaki sauce adds a sweet glaze to the salmon. I particularly like the TonTon Teriyaki Sauce from Argo Century, because it's not as syrupy and sweet as other teriyaki sauces on the market.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon wood chips, preferably alder wood
- 4 salmon fillets, pin bones removed (skin on or off)
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
Preparation:
- Place wood chips in a pile in the bottom of a stovetop smoker. Place the drip pan and the rack in the smoker.
- Place the salmon on the rack and brush the top and sides of each fillet with teriyaki sauce. Close the smoker lid partially, leaving a few inches ajar. Place on the stove and turn heat to medium. When smoke appears, close smoker cover completely.
- Cook for 17 to 20 minutes, until salmon is opaque.
