Cooking Instructions

Step 1
Start by preheating your smoker to a cozy 250°F (120°C), following the guidelines provided by your smoker's manufacturer.
Step 2
While the smoker warms up, grab a heat-proof dish and mix together some butter, minced garlic, three sprigs of fresh dill, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Place this delightful concoction in the smoker and let it work its magic for about 20 minutes, allowing the butter to melt and soak up all those wonderful flavors.

Once the butter is beautifully infused, carefully remove the dish from the smoker.

Generously brush the salmon with the infused butter, and don’t forget to sprinkle a little extra salt and pepper to enhance the taste.

Close the door and let the salmon cook until it’s perfectly flaky, which should take around 40 minutes.
Step 9
To keep your salmon moist and flavorful, check on it every 10 minutes and baste it with the delicious butter.

When the salmon is done, serve it up with fresh lemon slices, the remaining dill, and any leftover infused butter for a burst of flavor.
