Smoked Teriyaki Candied Salmon Bites
Smoked Teriyaki Candied Salmon Bites are brined for hours in a sweet teriyaki sauce and then smoked for hours and brushed with honey
Equipment
- Traeger/Pellet Grill
- Smoker
Ingredients
- 2 pounds salmon fillets
- 3/4 cup teriyaki sauce plus 1 tablespoon (I used Kikkoman with no high fructose corn syrup)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 Tbsps kosher salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- Optional: rice, sesame seeds, cilantro for garnish, wasabi sauce mixed with ranch dressing, ginger soy glaze
Instructions
- Remove the skin from the salmon and cut them into 1 1/2 to 2 inch pieces.
- Put 3/4 cup teriyaki sauce, water, brown sugar, and kosher salt in a large bowl. Stir until the brown sugar and salt dissolve, which does take some time.
- Add the salmon bites, stir until combined, cover and refrigerate 8 to 10 hours.
- Remove the salmon from the brine, pat them dry really well, and let them air dry for an hour.
- Set your smoker or pellet grill to 180 degrees. Place the salmon on the grill grates for 3 to 4 hours. Mix the honey with 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce and brush the salmon a few times throughout cooking.
- Serve with rice, sesame seeds and cilantro for garnish and wasabi sauce mixed with ranch, and/or ginger soy glaze if desired.
