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.

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.
