Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels. This helps the glaze stick better.

Smoking
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F.
- Arrange the salmon pieces on the smoker rack. Smoke for about 30-40 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- During the last 10 minutes of smoking, brush the glaze over the salmon, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Serving
- Remove the salmon bites from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dips.
Storage
- Place any leftover salmon bites in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
