Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat smoker to 225°F (107°C) with soaked alder wood chips smoldering. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then rub with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down on smoker grate. Smoke for 25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C), then remove and rest 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: While salmon smokes, combine huckleberries, honey, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes until berries burst and liquid reduces to 1/2 cup, stirring occasionally.
  4. Step 4: Stir in chopped dill, then brush glaze evenly over smoked salmon. Let sit 5 minutes for flavors to meld before serving.
