Love the SWMBO acronym! I'm married 29 years and still madly in love with my own SWMBO! She would think the acronym is funny, but I'm keeping it to myself anyway. Lol! I was looking for something easy like this for salmon and this seems perfect. Was wondering what kind of wood chips you used? I'm going to go 'soft' on this one and use pecan chips. Also going to make a little horseradish glaze for serving when done. Thanks for the recipe!

Sorry for the delay in responding! I usually use apple or maple on my salmon. The horseradish glaze sounds like the bomb! Say high to SWMBO for me!

Thanks, Bear!
 
Thanks Disco!

The salmon came out perfect! And the horseradish "glaze" on top was awesome! SWMBO loved it! Making it again tonight in fact. Thanks for a tremendously easy and delicious recipe!

Ken

Oh, and "Bear", if you're from Northampton, like I am, it's Konkrete Kids. Or K-Kids. [emoji]129303[/emoji][emoji]128578[/emoji]

Any chance of posting details of the glaze?
 
Disco-
Sure thing. The "glaze" is about as simple as your salmon!
All measurements are approximate.

3-4 TBSP Mayonnaise (sorry, no miracle whip)
1-2 tsp fresh horseradish
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Mix all and keep chilled to serve atop Disco's awesome salmon recipe

I've also done it using 1 tsp finely chopped shallots instead of the garlic

Enjoy!
And thanks again for the salmon recipe.

Oh, SWMBO reminded me that the first time I made the horseradish glaze, I used 1/2-1 tsp of fresh dill instead of the garlic and it was equally delicious!

You're very welcome! That simple rub for the salmon was da bomb! So, thank you sir! Have you tried other seafood? Interested in trying to smoke some scallops. I may even do some shrimp for my SWMBO and my son who is home from college. Unfortunately, the shrimp I can do a hundred different ways, but I just can't eat it. Allergic to the shrimp, and I used to love them. But all other seafood I can eat. Any ideas for scallops that you may have tried?

Thanks,
Ken

And Happy Easter! [emoji]128048[/emoji][emoji]128035[/emoji][emoji]10013[/emoji]️[emoji]128144[/emoji]

Living here in the mountains, Scallops are hard to get and incredibly expensive. However, SWMBO loves them and they are one of her favourite food. With that combination, when we buy scallops I haven't been able to experiment with them in the smoker as she doesn't want me to "mess them up". We do large scallops in two ways only. Wrapped in bacon and grilled then served with seafood sauce and getting a frying pan really hot, adding some clarified butter and chopped garlic and then searing one side of the prawns, turning them, sprinkling them with salt and pepper and squeezing some lemon on them and serving.

Small scallops are easier to get and cheaper and I like to them in a cream and ementhal sauce in the oven.

Some day, I will experiment with smoking scallops while she isn't home and my life is not in danger.

As for seafood recipes, our favourite salmon recipe is peppered salmon. Here is a link to a post I did on it:

It is a lot more work than the easy version but is so good!

Scallops aren't cheap anywhere around us right now, but the smaller bay scallops are somewhat reasonable. I love the larger sea scallops wrapped in bacon! Difficult to match that kind of flavor. I've made my own bacon and wrapped them up. In fact, the bacon, and ham, is what led me to getting my smoker in the first place. Long story, but we usually get a cow every year (grass-fed locally, and butchered) and split it between a few friends. 2 years ago, we decided to get a pig. When it came time for butchering, the guy who was to do the butchering got locked-up for garnering his 3rd DUI. We had to find another at the last minute and he didn't have the facilities to do the curing and smoking for the bacon and ham. Checked around some local butcher shops and after figuring the costs and what-not, decided to go get my own smoker and try my hand at it! So, here I am, now 1-1/2 years and a couple pigs later, and having smokedbacon, ham, beef, pork, fish, chicken, sausage, veggies, and even nuts! One of the best decisions ever!
I may have to experiment with the scallops... looking forward to eating all the failures! Thanks for the help and the peppered salmon recipe. It sounds delicious, and that's okay if it's a little more work. Bacon and ham are a lot of work, but well worth it!

Sorry about that, Ken---I didn't remember they used a "K".

Been to the "Pit" a few times years ago, when they were really hard to beat.

Rohn had them well tuned!!  We (Quakertown) always had our hands full.

My fault on the Hijack, Disco---Just reliving Memories.

Bearcarver - no problem on the Konkrete Kids nickname. I'm originally a Bethlehem native and a Liberty Hurricane. My wife and I moved to Northampton 25 years ago and love it here. Both my kids are Konkrete Kids. The wrestling action here has gone downhill somewhat compared to back then when it was king. Same with football. Someday, maybe, it returns. And sorry Disco for using this string for a walk down memory lane. For those who have forgotten, this string is for a very easy, kickass, ultra-delicious Salmon recipe!
Thanks again Disco!

Ken
