Smoked Fish Recipe

Smoked Fish is a delicious dish that brings out the natural flavors of the fish while adding a smoky aroma. It's a perfect dish for seafood lovers and can be enjoyed as a main course or as a tasty appetizer.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs of fresh fish fillets (such as salmon, trout, or mackerel)
• 1/4 cup of kosher salt
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1 tbsp of black pepper
• 1 tbsp of garlic powder
• 1 tbsp of onion powder
• 1 tbsp of paprika
• Wood chips for smoking (such as hickory or applewood)

Instructions: How to Cook Smoked Fish

1. Prepare the fish fillets by rinsing them under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to create a dry rub.
3. Rub the dry mixture all over the fish fillets, making sure to coat them evenly on all sides. Let the fish sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate.
4. Prepare your smoker by preheating it to 200°F (93°C) and adding the wood chips for smoking.
5. Place the fish fillets on the smoker racks, leaving some space between each fillet to allow for proper smoking.
6. Smoke the fish for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish is flaky and tender.
7. Remove the smoked fish from the smoker and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve the smoked fish hot or cold, depending on your preference. Enjoy the delicious smoky flavors!
