What is really amazing is how easy it is—hardly any prep and utter deliciousness. We absolutely love salmon around here. Plus, it is incredibly healthy for you. It is very low in saturated fat and a good source of protein. It’s also one of the best sources of vitamin B12, potassium, and other nutrients like iron and vitamin D. I also love how quick and easy this salmon is to cook up on a wood pellet grill.

You mix the rub, put it on the salmon, and place it on the grill. Set the temperature, set the timer, and that’s it! Do you have to brine salmon before smoking? What are the best wood pellets to smoke salmon? What is the best salmon for smoking? How long does it take to smoke? Over the last couple of years, my husband and I had heard really marvelous things about wood pellet grills.

Our friends all told us how much they loved them, but we didn’t think it was worth the added expense. This spring, it has been hot, so we decided to start the barbecue early. However, the burner on one side no longer worked. So it was time to buy another one. We did a bunch of research and decided that it was healthier to eat food over wood instead of food cooked over burnt gas. From the first time we used it, we were hooked.
