{"title":"Best Wood Pellets for Salmon","description":"\u003cp\u003eFish is delicate, and that changes everything about how you smoke it. The heavy woods that make brisket sing will steamroll a salmon fillet. The goal here is a light, clean smoke that adds character without burying the fish. Get the wood right and smoked salmon is one of the most rewarding things you can cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStart with the wood, not the bag\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuality matters even more with a light smoke, because there's nowhere for cheap wood to hide. A lot of pellets are sprayed sawdust or milled from young trees with little real flavor. On a mild fish cook, that thin, acrid smoke is all you'll taste. Kona pellets are pressed from mature hardwood that carries clean, true flavor. Wood should be wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe best woods for salmon and fish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlder: the classic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlder is the traditional wood for salmon, going back generations in the Pacific Northwest. It's mild and slightly sweet, with a clean smoke that flatters fish instead of overpowering it. If you want the most authentic smoked-salmon flavor, start here.

Apple is the mildest and a safe everyday choice. Cherry adds a touch more depth and a lovely color. Both are gentle enough for salmon, trout, and other fish, and they're always in stock.

Cold smoking takes care and proper food-safety steps, so most home cooks start with hot smoking.
