Ingredients
2 to 4 pounds boneless fresh salmon fillet,side-on
3 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 to 4 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper
Razz B Que Sauce, recipe follows
4 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
1/2 pint fresh raspberries
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
Entertainment crackers of choice (water or wheat crackers)
10 lemon wedges
Kale, for garnish
1 tablespoon honey, optional
J.J. McBrewster's Signature Razz B Que Sauce:
1 1/3 cups seedless raspberry preserves
1/3 cup prepared horseradish
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Directions
- Preheat a smoker to 225 degrees F using hickory or cherry wood chips.
- Rub the skin side of the salmon with oil and put it, skin side down, on a sheet of foil. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Massage the seasoning into the salmon to create an outside rub, then sprinkle with pepper, to taste.
- Put the salmon with the foil on a smoker rack and close the lid. Smoke the salmon for 30 to 35 minutes and cooked to a medium doneness. Do not open the smoker lid during cooking time. Remove the salmon from the smoker to a serving platter and allow it to cool.
- Drizzle the salmon with Razz B Que Sauce, sprinkle with fresh chives and fresh raspberries. Serve with the remaining Razz B Que Sauce, cream cheese, crackers and lemon wedges. Garnish with kale and remaining raspberries. Lightly drizzle with honey to sweeten, if desired.

Cook’s Note
If you do not own a smoker you can purchase salmon already smoked from a local fish market or us.
