Albertsons here in my area has skin on salmon fillets advertised as
(steelhead trout? farm raised) $5 a lb a fair price. It's terribly hot
and I'm not inclined to a long cook either in or out so I thought
I'd post the reciped I got from cooks country show on tv a while back..
very simple and fast
When I first tried this recipe There was no skin on fillets available
to me so I put the fish on an oiled rack over the boat of cherry chips.
I thought it came out well. I've got skin on now but I'm not so sure I
want to put it directly on the wood. It doesn't seem to me it would
pick up more smoke anyway it's a decent quick cook, I thought you
might enjoy. btw done on a gas grill

Aromatic woods such as cedar and alder give the most authentic flavor.

Serves 4.
Ingredients
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 skin-on salmon fillets (each 6 to 8 ounces and 1 1/4 inches thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups wood chips , soaked for 15 minutes

with paper towels. Brush flesh side of salmon with oil and sprinkle with

2. Place trays with salmon over hot fire and grill, covered, until
center of each fillet is still just translucent, about 10 minutes.
Remove trays from grill. Following photo 3, slide metal spatula between
skin and flesh of fish and transfer to platter. Serve.



1. Cut out four rectangles of heavy-duty aluminum foil and crimp edges
until each tray measures 7 by 5 inches. Using a paring knife, poke small
slits in the bottom of the trays. (These vents will help to heat the
chips.)

2. Place soaked wood chips in the foil trays and arrange the salmon
skin-side down directly on top of the wood chips.

3. Once the salmon is cooked, slide a metal spatula between the flesh
and the skin; the fish should release easily.
