Notes

Make sure to use fresh salmon for this recipe. Fresh salmon will have a better flavor and texture than frozen salmon. You can also use wild-caught salmon for this recipe, as it has a more intense flavor than farmed salmon.

If you do not have a smoker, you can also cook the salmon in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake the salmon for 20 minutes. The salmon will not have the same smoky flavor, but it will still be delicious.
