Smoked Salmon by Jim Smith

Here's a recipe from our beloved founder Jim Smith (the original SmokinTex) that would work in any SmokinTex smoker. Everyone here at SmokinTex and in Jim's family said it was outstanding and easy.

Salmon fillet a la Jim

• Sprinkle on cayenne pepper after putting on the seafood grill in the middle of the smoker.

• Put a little hickory (no more than 4 oz.) in the wood box.

• Set smoker at 150 degrees F for 4.5 hours.

• Remove from smoker and serve hot or cold as a main dish or an hors d'ouevre (hot or cold) on crackers with a little chopped red onion and capers.

Another suggestion is with horse radish.

It's great both ways.
