HOw do I smoke sockeye salmon?

[lth80]

I'm doing some ribs today but my wife has a half fillet of sockeye, just wondering how this is usually smoked?

obv I'm not going to brine or anything, is that ok?  Can I just throw it on there for 3-4 hrs at 220?

thanks

Not 3 or 4 hours.

It will take less than 1 hour if they are fillets.

Just smoke them until they flake with a fork.

If you probe them the IT should be 135-140.

I like to put some olive oil on them and a little salt and pepper, just smoke til the meat starts to flake.
