Brick chicken n Almond Salmon

[bauchjw]

I have not done a brick chicken for a while and my wife had some wild salmon she wanted too…so, cooked both.

chicken spatchcocked and rubbed with EVOO, SPOG and laid some fresh Rosemary sprigs on.

Salmon has Dijon, apple sauce, dry thyme, salt, pepper mixed. Rubbed on salmon, then I roasted and crushed almonds to topit.

Pellet pooper at 450 with mesquite…didn’t feel like changing the hopper.

So, now all the chicken and fish are gone. Tasty! Thanks for looking!

Interesting. I've seen Chicken under a Brick in Pans to maintain skin contact to get it crisp. Does the Brick have a similar, or other effect, in the Smoker? The Salmon looks nice...JJ

It does, I normally do this on my Webber kettle, I think I like the results better on the kettle, but I press it down hard with that weight to get as much contact as possible. It also helps with getting the whole chicken done, legs, etc thank you for the like!
