    Sweet, sticky, with a caress of smoke and umami, the only thing this salmon needs is a cocktail to toast it with like a Triple Coconut Martini. Not only is it irresistibly delicious, it's also easy.

    Why You'll Love this Recipe

    Making Dairy Free Browned Butter Honey Smoked Salmon couldn't be easier. You can use this method with your gas grill or charcoal grill. No special equipment required! With just a few simple ingredients, this dish comes together with minimal effort.

    Ingredients

    Aside from the salmon itself, this sweet and savory salmon requires only a handful of ingredients, most of which you probably already have in your pantry.

    • Whole Salmon Filet - You can use wild caught sustainably sourced salmon for this recipe such as coho or sockeye, or responsibly raised farmed salmon.
    • Honey - Adds sweetness to balance the salty and savory flavors while also helping the salmon to slightly caramelize.
    • Dairy Free Butter - Adds richness to the glaze and stretches it out.
    • Miso Paste - Salty, savory, and bursting with umami, miso paste will have you going back for bite after bite.
    • Gluten Free Soy Sauce - Adds salty umami that balances the sweetness of the honey.
    • Orange Juice - Adds a bright kiss of sunny acid and a little sweetness.

    Tools

    • Grill - You can use a gas grill or charcoal grill for the glazed salmon recipe.
    • Western Wood Chips, Cherry - These add a mild smoke flavor that is tangy and fruity, perfect for the delicate salmon. These smoking chips aren't produced with any chemicals and are purely natural resulting in a very low residue of ash, only 2%.
    • Aluminum Foil - Use a large piece of aluminum foil to create your pouch for the smoking chips. You can also use a smoking box if you have one.

    How to Make Dairy Free Browned Butter Honey Smoked Salmon

    This recipe for smoked salmon gives you maximum flavor with minimal effort. Just fire up the grill and get ready to discover your new favorite way to eat salmon.

    Time needed: 30 minutes.

    Smoky, sweet, salty, and savory, this salmon hits all of the flavor notes.

    1. Pregame

      Preheat your grill to 400 degrees.

    2. Smoke

      Prepare your foil pack for smoking. Add 1 cup of cherry Western Wood Chips into a large piece of foil. Fold in the sides like an envelope to create a pouch. Use a knife or fork to poke several holes in the top so the smoke can escape. Place the pouch on the grill while you prepare the salmon.

    3. Sauce

      Place the ingredients for the sauce into a grill safe saucepan and allow it to simmer and reduce, and the miso to dissolve, approximately 10-15 minutes.

    4. Salmon

      Create an open foil boat for the salmon. Lightly spray the bottom with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the skin from sticking. Place the salmon into the foil boat.

    5. Grill

      Place the salmon boat onto the grill and pour half of the sauce on top of the salmon. Allow the salmon to grill for 10-15 minutes, or until it begins to flake. Use a fork to test.

    6. Serve

      Serve the salmon with the reserved sauce and enjoy!

    Variations

    While this recipe is Gluten Free and Dairy Free you can also make it with traditional soy sauce and use dairy butter.

    Top Tip for Dairy Free Browned Butter Honey Smoked Salmon
