  1. A. Salmon and other oily fish are ideal candidates for smoking because they can take the heat which would dry out leaner fish and shellfish. The thing to watch out for, though, is to keep the heat low sufficient so which the salmon does not render fat which drips onto the coals or possibly burner, producing an acrid smoke which will ruin the flavor.
  2. To smoke salmon in a grill, build a charcoal fire. When the coals are ready, push them to one side and put a handful of wood chips on the coal. Lay the salmon on the grill on the side opposite the coals and close the top. Smoke the fish for about 10 min per inch of thickness at the thickest part. You want it to reach an internal temperature of 140 F (60 C).
  3. James Peterson, author of the really wonderful, not inexpensive Fish & Shellfish says hickory is OK, about in the same class with maple and mesquite, when it comes to smoking fish. Use them sparingly, he says, because they can give the fish an overwhelmingly smoky taste. He prefers apple, cherry, pear and alderwood for salmon, but adds which the best Scottish salmon is smoked with oak from barrels which were used to age whisky (and the best whisky barrels were first used for aging sherry.) So, if you have a whisky barrel lying about, you might want to dedicate it to your salmon.
