Salmon Burnt Ends

These salmon burnt ends are little nuggets of seafood goodness. They're slow-smoked in a sweet rub and then glazed over with my maple bourbon grilling glaze to coat them in a sweet and savory finishing sauce.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat. Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F with a mild hardwood like maple, alder, cherry, or pecan.
  • Cube. Cut your salmon into cubes that are about 1 1/2-2 inches and as similar in size as you can get them for even cooking.
  • Season. Season the salmon cubes on all sides with the Sweet BBQ Rub.
  • Smoke. Place the salmon cubes on the smoker grates, close the lid, and smoke for about 1 hour, or until your salmon reaches 125 degrees F in the thickest part.
  • Sauce. Drizzle the salmon bites with the Maple Bourbon Glaze, close the lid, and continue cooking until the salmon reaches 145 degrees F (about 15-20 minutes).
  • Enjoy. Remove the salmon to your serving platter and enjoy immediately.
