Delicious Black Cod filets are dry-brined and then slow-smoked on our pellet smoker for a buttery, tender whitefish that is perfect served with cheese and crackers!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Black Cod filets
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. 1

    First, rinse your fish off with cold water and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Put all your dry ingredients into a small bowl and mix well.

  3. 3

    Lay your fish filets out on a large cutting board or some other clean, flat surface.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the dry brine ingredients onto the fish. Make sure all sides of the fish are evenly coated with it.

  5. 5

    Cover the fish in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 3-4 hours. Well The longer it brines, the saltier it will be.

  6. 6

    Take the fish out of the fridge, unwrap, and rinse the brine off of the fish.

  7. 7

    Pat the fish dry, place on a cookie sheet and put it back into the fridge for 3-4 hours so the pellicle can form.

  8. 8

    Start your smoker and set it to 175 degrees Fahrenheit. 

  9. 9

    Place your fish on the grill and let smoke for 3-4 hours. 

  10. 10

    Pull the fish from the grill, and put it in the fridge to chill for an hour before saving.
