Double-Smoked Stuffed Salmon

Sometimes you have to make like a bear and well, eat fish. It can’t be all read meat and rarity because sometimes, as much as you hate to admit it, you just have to mix it up. Salmon is my go to fish of choice, mainly because it’s hearty and leaves you feeling satisfied, even though it’s not a big hunk of steak. Second, because I don’t trust my local market as their deli case is always piled high with imitation crab meat and bottles of clearance sauce. Going out on a limb there may be playing a game of roulette I can’t afford to lose. I really need to stop being so lazy and drive a little further to the next market for my own safety.

This ‘double’ smoked salmon is a simple, but fancy looking meal. Go for a good smoked salmon when shopping for this recipe, and not just Starkissed, you’ll that me later. You can go through setting up your smoker, or cheat on it for the evening by placing un-soaked wood chips wrapped in foil on your standard grill as it preheats and leaving them on through the cook.
