Simple Salmon

[disco]

I love experimenting and trying new things and methods. However, sometimes you just want something tasty without a lot of preparation or work. It is easy to forget that a smoker can be very easy to use and make a great result.

I was feeling lazy so I fired the Traeger Timberline up to 210 F with apple pellets.

I had a salmon fillet and shook a good layer of Traeger Blackened Saskatchewan rub over it.

I put the salmon in the smoker and set the smoker to super smoke.

I smoked it to an internal temperature of 140 F.

It was super easy and super delicious. I even got approval from She Who Must Be Obeyed!

Looks good! What's that Saskatchewan Blackening rub all about? Kinda cajun flavours?

Har! Not a lot of Cajun dishes from Saskatchewan! It is a dark rub with a lot of garilc, mid salt level and some pepper notes.

Ah gotcha! Haha I'm a Canadian boy as well and figured that a prairie rub would be different. But the only blackening spice I've heard of comes from Louisiana. Sounds good though!

Looks wonderful Disco, Like! Wish I was still reeling pink meat in from the Pacific Ocean, store bought salmon just ain't quite the same now. RAY

Amen! I used to live a 5 minute drive from a commercial fishing dock and got the best fish. Now I have to dig through frozen stuff in the supermarket to find something halfway decent.

It quite shocked me the first time I tried it. The only thing blackened about it is the colour although it does have a pepper hit.

Looks tasty! It’s been too long since I’ve had salmon. I have a nice big filet in the freezer too.
