Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Dan-O’s Cajun seasoning
- 3 pounds salmon
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tbsp garlic, minced
Preparation Instructions
- Score the salmon by making shallow cuts across the flesh.
- Construct the Foil Boat: Cut a piece of foil that is long enough to be folded in half to fit the salmon. Fold the foil in half and place the salmon on top. Fold the edges of the foil around the salmon to create a boat shape.
- Season the Salmon with 1 tbsp of Dan-O’s Cajun Seasoning.
- Make the Butter Sauce: In a bowl, mix the melted butter with the chopped parsley, minced garlic, and 1 tbsp of Dan-O’s Cajun.
- Pour 1/2 - 3/4 of the butter mixture evenly over the salmon, ensuring it seeps into the scored cuts. Reserve the remaining butter sauce for later.
- Place the salmon in the smoker and set the temperature to 250°F. Smoke the salmon for 1 hour.
- Once done, remove the salmon from the smoker. Drizzle the remaining butter sauce over the smoked salmon and serve.
