Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs of fresh salmon fillet
1 cup of brown sugar
½ cup of sea salt
2 tbsp of black pepper
¼ cup of lemon juice
2 tbsp of dill weed (fresh) or 1 tbsp (dried)
2 tbsp of olive oil
Pecan or hickory wood chips for smoking
Instructions
Begin by rinsing your fresh salmon fillet under cold water. Pat it dry gently with paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, sea salt, black pepper, and dill weed.
Once your cure is ready, spread half of it on a large baking sheet or dish. Place the salmon skin-side down on top of the cure and generously apply the remaining cure on top of the salmon. Let it cure in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
After curing, rinse the salmon under cold water to remove excess cure and gently dry it with paper towels.
Preheat your Traeger smoker to a temperature of 180°F. Add your wood chips of choice before placing the salmon inside.
Once your smoker is ready, place the salmon on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke for about 30 minutes.
After the salmon has smoked, carefully remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
