Cooking Method: Traeger Smoker

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes 

Total Time: 1 hour, 40 minutes

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

· Wild caught salmon filet 

· Approx. 3-4 tablespoons Manic Mage seasoning by AlcheMeats

· 4 tablespoons butter

· 4 tablespoons honey

Directions:

1.) Preheat smoker to 275 degrees.

2.) Dry off the salmon with paper towels.

3.) Place filet on sheet of butcher paper 

4.) Liberally apply Manic Mage seasoning, by AlcheMeats, to the meat side of filet.

4.) Once smoker is preheated to 275 degrees, place butcher paper directly on grates. 

5.) Prepare the glaze by combining butter and honey. Place on smoker to melt and combine. I do this after the salmon has been on for about 15 minutes.

6.) After about 30 minutes of cook time, pour the glaze over the filet. Use a basting brush, if needed. 

7.) Close smoker and let glaze adhere for about 10 minutes. 

8.) The USDA recommends cooking until 145 degrees internal temperature, but I find that to be far too overdone. I aim for an internal temperature of 120 - 125 degrees.

9.) Remove from smoker, let rest a few minutes, serve and enjoy!
