🧂 Ingredients
-
1 wild-caught salmon filet
-
3–4 tbsp Manic Mage seasoning by AlcheMeats
-
4 tbsp butter
-
4 tbsp honey
🔥 Directions
1. Prep the Salmon
-
Preheat your smoker to 275°F.
-
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.
-
Place the filet on a sheet of butcher paper.
-
Liberally season the meat side with Manic Mage by AlcheMeats.
2. Start the Smoke
-
Once your smoker reaches 275°F, place the butcher paper with the salmon directly on the grates.
-
Close the lid and smoke for about 15 minutes.
3. Prepare the Glaze
-
In a small heat-safe pan, combine butter and honey.
-
Place the pan on the smoker to melt and combine while the salmon cooks.
-
Stir occasionally until smooth and fragrant.
4. Glaze and Finish
-
After about 30 minutes of total cook time, pour the honey-butter glaze over the salmon.
-
Use a basting brush to evenly coat the surface.
-
Close the smoker lid and continue cooking another 10 minutes, until the glaze sets beautifully.
-
Remove the salmon when the internal temperature reaches 120–125°F (the USDA recommends 145°F, but this range keeps it tender and juicy).
-
Let rest a few minutes before serving.
⚡ Pro Tip
If you want a crispier glaze, finish the salmon over high heat or briefly under a broiler for 1–2 minutes to caramelize the honey.
