I have wanted a smoker for close to 3 years. Girls dream of getting diamonds and flowers for their birthday but ALL I wanted was a smoker. And, finally, about 3 years ago that dream came true – my husband finally got me a Masterbuilt electric smoker. It wasn’t big but I couldn’t wait to start using it. So far, I have smoked mac ‘n cheese, chicken drumsticks, chicken thighs, whole chicken, steak, shrimp, roast, ribs and pulled pork but by far salmon has become my favorite meat to smoke in my Masterbuilt MES440 electric smoker. I hope you enjoy this recipe for smoked salmon as much as I do.
Ingredients
- 1 large salmon fillet, cut into individual portions
- 4 cups cold water
- 1/3 cup kosher salt
- 1 tbsp black strap molasses
Instructions
1. In a large bowl combine water, salt and molasses – mix until the salt has dissolved.
2. Place the salmon into the brine. cover with plastic and refrigerate 4 hours.
3. Pour the water off and pat the salmon dry with paper towels.
4. Smoke the salmon at 200 degrees for 2 hours, using cherry wood chips. Add a handful of wood chips at the beginning of the smoke and at the 1 hour mark.
Enjoy!

Best place you’ve found to purchase salmon
Hi. I purchase mine at either Costco or Aldi
This salmon is absolutely amazing. Best smoked salmon I’ve ever hard by far!
I love salmon in almost every form. If I had a smoker, I’d be all over this! Maybe I should get one. It looks delicious!
You absolutely should get a smoker! It’s one of my absolute favorite ‘kitchen’ gadgets
