Smoked Trout Recipe
This trout is a great option for times when you don't have a lot of time for prep, and since it's a fairly mild fish, it's perfect for making at gatherings.

Ingredients
- 1.5 trout filet
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dill
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Add the kosher salt, garlic powder, dill, paprika, and white pepper to a small bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Prepare your steelhead trout by placing it skin-side down on a piece of aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray before placing the trout on the foil. This will keep the trout from sticking to the foil, making it easier to remove
- Pat the trout dry with paper towels.
- Coat the trout with the dry rub seasoning mix. Allow at least a half hour for the dry rub to form a pellicle. This will help the trout stay nice and moist through the smoking process.
- Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees.
- Add your favorite wood chips to the smoke tube. For this recipe I used Alder wood chips.
- Place the trout in the smoker with a thermometer in the thickest part of the filet. Let the fish cook in the smoker until an internal temperature of 140 degrees is reached.
- Remove the filet from the smoker and let it rest for 15 minutes before serving.
