200g thick salmon fillets, bones removed but skin left on- 1 tbs dark rum
- 1 tbs soft brown sugar
- 1 tbs cajun spice
- 1 tbs salt flakes
- 1 tbs tomato sauce
- 1 tbs low-salt soy sauce
2. Wash the salmon with the rum and leave to marinate for 30 minutes
3. Massage in the secret rub and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours
4. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature
5. Prepare a kettle barbecue for indirect cooking, building a small coal fire on both sides of the grill and allowing it to burn quite low until almost out
6. Add 2 handfuls of pre-soaked woodchips to both sides and allow them to start smoking well, with the lid on (temperature should be around 80-100°C)
7. Place the salmon on the grill, away from the heat source. Replace the lid and smoke for 40 minutes. Do NOT lift the lid because if you’re looking, you’re not cooking
8. Check the fish after 40 minutes, when it should be just cooked, and remove from the barbeque and allow it to rest before serving
