Cooking Instructions

1 mins
  1. 1

    Mix water, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Add fish and let set in brine for 30-50 min.

  2. 2

    Ready the smoker with charcoal and bring the temp up to about 190°F and not over 200 so the meat doesn't dry out.

  3. 3

    Grate lemon being careful to rotate lemon as you zest so as to get just the skin and not the pith.

  4. 4

    Mix lemon zest with butter and pepper and coat over the outside and inside of the fish.

  5. 5

    Slice lemon in to slices and stuff lemon slices with rosemary sprigs into fish.

  6. 6

    Once the smoker has reached correct temperature add a cup of the soaked wood chips directly on to the coals.

  7. 7

    Right after you add your chips the fish is ready for smoking so place it on a rack in the smoker (or better yet prepare your fish on a smoker grate and just slide the grate back into the smoker) let sit in smoker for 30min opening only to add second cup of chips halfway through.

  8. 8

    After 30 min or more importantly once the internal temp of the fish has reached 160°F internally remove fish and let sit for 5 min. Now enjoy smoked rainbow trout
