Categories     Fish     Marinate     Fourth of July     Picnic     Dinner     Salmon     Grill     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4 or more

Number Of Ingredients 8

Sugar-and-Spice Marinade
3/4 cup vodka
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons coarse salt, either kosher or sea salt
2 tablespoons mixed pickling spice, bruised
2 teaspoons dill seeds, bruised
1 1/2-pound salmon fillet
Large bunch of fresh dill (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. At least 2 hours and up to 8 hours before you plan to smoke the fish, combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Place the salmon in a plastic bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over it, and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour. Leave it longer to intensify the seasoning.
  • 2. Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature to 180°F to 200°F.
  • 3. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator, and drain it, reserving the marinade if you plan to baste the fish. Leave any clinging spices on the surface of the salmon. Let the fish sit uncovered at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • 4. If you are using the marinade as a mop, stir the brine together with 1 cup water in a small saucepan and boil vigorously for a few minutes.
  • 5. Transfer the salmon to the smoker, skin side down. Cook for 45 to 55 minutes, mopping it after 10 and 30 minutes in a wood-burning pit, or as appropriate for your style of smoker. Have a large spatula and a platter ready for taking the salmon off the smoker, since it will be fragile when done. We prefer to serve the salmon with some of the whole spices clinging to it. The fish can be eaten immediately or refrigerated and later served chilled. If you are using the fresh dill, arrange it on a serving platter. Top the dill with the salmon, and serve.
