Description
Smoking your own foods is fun and tasty. This is a brilliant method. Try wood chips in beer, wine, cider or with herbs and chilli.

Soak the wood chips in water, beer or cider for at least one hour. Drain and leave for one hour.
Get an old biscuit tin with a lid and make 10 holes in the lid with a screwdriver.
Add the drained wood chips and put a layer of foil over the wood chips. Butter the foil liberally and place the salmon on top.
Squeeze over the lemon and season well.
Put the lid on and place on a bbq at medium heat or on a hob. When you first start seeing smoke come from the holes, leave for two minutes then remove from the heat and leave for 15 minutes.
Remove the lid and gently take out the salmon. It should be cooked on the outside and reasonably pink in the middle and nicely smoked.
Serve as a starter with horseradish mayonaisse and a rocket salad or use in a fish pie or risotto. This also makes a great main course served with steamed asparagus, mash potato and spinach.
This also works well with mackeral fillets.
Wow - this looks amazing - I've seen a Jamie Oliver recipe where you wrap fish in wet newspaper but this looks cleaner and reusable. Well done! xXx
