If you are a Salmon lover and
also enjoy the spicy kick of
Chipotle peppers, your going to
enjoy this recipe. The sauce is
spicy and the recipe makes more
then enough for the Salmon so
you will have some to use on
other foods. Rinse and pat dry
the Salmon filets. Coarsely chop
2 cloves garlic. Cut one slice
off a red onion. Pull about 1
cup (hand full) of Cilantro.
Slice 3 limes in half.
Open 2 cans of Chipotle
peppers in Adobo sauce and dump
them into a blender. Add in 1/2
the garlic, the slice of onion,
the Cilantro and 2 tbsp of
honey. Thoroughly squeeze in 3
limes. Puree all this in your
blender but don't run it more
then 15 seconds. This will be a
basting sauce.
Foil a cooking rack and spray
it with PAM or another vegetable
oil nonstick spray. Lay the
salmon skin side down on the
foil. Shake on a light coating
of Wizzy's Smokin BBQ Rub. Be
careful not to use too much as
it may add too much salt to the
fish. Next lightly sprinkle on
some coarse ground black pepper.
Last but not least rub on the
Salmon 1/2 clove of chopped
garlic
Place the Salmon in your
cooker with no heat. Add sawdust
to your A-MAZE-N-Smoker and
light it. If you have another
type of Cold Smoke generator
that will do. You want to cold
smoke it for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Be care of the chamber temp. If
the ambient air temp is above 75
degrees you may want to do this
in the evening when it cools. ON
this cook the smoker remained
between 69 and 70 degrees.
After the Salmon has cold
smoked then fire up the pit to
cook the fish over heat. Bring
it up to 225 degrees and cook
the Salmon for about 1 1/2
hours. Half way through cut 2
slices of lime from the last
remaining lime. Squeeze lime
juice from the remaining lime
onto the fish.
What you want to do next is
mop on a light coating of the
pepper lime sauce and continue
to cook @ 225 for 30 minutes.
Salmon is done when it turns
a lighter shade of pink and
becomes firm but moist. That's
it! This is a very easy and
tasty too. Try the sauce before
putting it on the fish. Not
everyone like Chipotle pepper.
If you want to reduce the heat
clean the seeds out of the
peppers before you puree them.
