Directions
  • Step #1 In a shallow glass baking dish, mix the soy sauce with the mustard & sugar.
  • Step #2 Add the salmon & turn to coat.
  • Step #3 Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hrs.
  • Step #4 Light a grill.
  • Step #5 If using charcoal, scatter the wood chips & herbs over the coals.
  • Step #6 If using a gas grill, place the wood chips & herbs in a smoker box or scatter over the heat bars.
  • Step #7 Place a large double layer of foil wrap over the center of the grill.
  • Step #8 Arrange the salmon on the foil wrap.
  • Step #9 Cover up the grill & smoke the salmon until just cooked through, about 10 mins.
  • Step #10 In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the lime juice & season this with salt & pepper.
  • Step #11 Gently fold in the radishes, cucumbers, avocado & onion.
  • Step #12 Using thick oven mitts, carefully lift the foil wrap from the grill.

  • Step #14 Make Ahead: The hot-smoked salmon can be put in the fridged overnight.
  • Step #15 Wine Recommendation: The salmon's smoky flavor & its pungent marinade suggest an aromatic, fruity white, such as a Pinot Gris from Oregon.
