Stovetop Smoker Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Smoke the salmon steaks over medium heat, using alder, cherry or maple using your stove top smoker. (see related recipe).
• While the salmon is smoking, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and butter in a large skillet until the butter is foaming.
• Stir in the leeks, season them lightly with salt and cook, stirring until they are wilted, about 4 minutes.
• Gently stir in the beans, toss a few times, and pour in the chicken broth.
• Bring to a boil, adjust the heat to simmering and simmer, uncovered, until there is enough syrupy liquid left to generously coat the beans, about 8 minutes.
• If the salmon is done to your likeness before the beans are ready, remove the smoker from the heat and open the top an inch or two.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a very small skillet over medium-low heat.
• Scatter the garlic over the oil and cook, shaking the pan, until it is a very pale golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• Remove immediately from the heat and stir in the parsley, then stir the whole thing into the beans.
• Taste the beans and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide the beans between two warm shallow bowls.
• Top each with a piece of salmon and serve at once.

Steps:

• FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SMOKER or do the follwing:.

• Line the drip pan with heavy foil for easy clean-up & place pan on top of the wood chips.
• Lightly spray the cooking rack with cooking spary & place in drip pan.
• Rinse the salmon under cold water & pat dry dry with paper towel.
• Brush olive oil on top of the salmon.
• Sprinkle desired amount of seasoning on top.
• Place salmon on cooking rack -- if more than one filet, be sure there's plenty of space between so the smoke can circulate.
• Close the smoker lid tightly & place on preheated burner.
• Cook on MEDIUM heat (or a little lower) for 25-30 minutes.
