Ingredients

Directions

Step 1

Mix brown sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Step 2

Cover the salmon fillet completely with the brown sugar mixture in a baking dish and refrigerate for 4.5 hours.

Step 3

For Glaze: Combine soy sauce, orange juice, ginger, honey, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until sauce reduces and thickens slightly about 5–6 minutes. Once it has reduced, remove the pot from the heat.

Step 4

After four hours, rinse the fish and pat it dry.

Step 5

Set grill to 225°F.

Step 6

Create a long foil "boat" by folding up the sides of the foil. Then place a thin layer of orange slices inside the boat, and top them with the salmon fillet.

Step 7

Smoke for 90 minutes (or until internal temperature is 145°F).

Step 8

For the last 30 minutes of smoking time, brush fish down with glaze every ten minutes.
