Ingredients
Salmon:
- 1 whole side Salmon cubed
- ½ cup Favorite BBQ Seasoning
- 12 Bacon Slices cut in half
- 1 cup Honey for basting
- Chives for garnish
- Sesame Seeds for garnish
- Sliced Red Peppers
Firecracker Sauce:
- ½ cup Sriracha Sauce
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- 2.5 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1.5 tbsp Chili Paste
- 1.5 tbsp Honey
- 2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 2 tsp Ginger Paste
Instructions
- Begin by removing the skin of your salmon and slicing into 1.5-2” cubes. Next, wrap each salmon cube with ½ strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Coat the outside of the salmon in your favorite BBQ seasoning and set to the side until ready to use.
- Preheat your smoker using Cowboy Charcoal to 250F for indirect cooking. Add some wood chips or wood chunks for added flavor if desired.
- Add your salmon to the smoker to cook until about 145F internal (about 30-40 minutes). As the salmon cooks, baste the outside with honey every 10 minutes. Once the salmon is done, pull off and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Add a skillet over medium high heat (about 350F) along with some oil and your minced garlic. Let the garlic brown for about 2-3 minutes, then add the rest of the ingredients for the Firecracker Sauce. Stir until bubbling, then pull the sauce off to cool.
- Finish the salmon with a spoonful of the Firecracker Sauce on top along with chopped chives, sliced red pepper and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
