For those in the know, there's a huge difference between grilling and BBQ'ing. Grilling is fast, high heat and, BBQ'ing is always a low, slow and steady heat. Today was BBQ'ing 101.

Also know, while most smoked salmon dishes require a basic high sugar, salty brine - 4 hours + soak time - if not overnight - this specific recipe does not call for that. It's a much quicker dry smoke.

My 7 year old students are just learning the joys of grilling, BBQ'ing, dehydrating and smoking their meats. This was the fantastic meal they prepared for all of us today!

Yup, 20 + pounds of Wild Alaskan King Salmon slabs were BBQ'd up in three seperate bullet smokers! My students fillets were thick, super smoky, lemony, peppery and firm yet juicy! And, their asparagus side dishes were such a zesty, crispy little delight! Definitely a winner - winner seafood veggie dinner! Congrats kiddos! Great teamwork as well!

Anyway, this recipe also makes for an excelent cream cheese bagel spread. Simply fine flake and mix 1 pound smoked salmon [without skin or bones] with 2 - 8 oz packages room temp Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

Chill, then smear on hot, toasted, crispy bagels with a tiny spritz of fresh lemon juice and chilled, chopped fresh green chives. Chilled capers are also great on them for that extra salty side kick as well! Any way you choose to serve them, they're just freaking delicious! 😆
