Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, chopped garlic, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Pro tip: For a more intense flavor, let the trout marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Marinate the Trout
Place the trout fillets in a dish and pour the marinade over the top. Make sure the fillets are well coated.
Pro tip: Use a resealable plastic bag to thoroughly coat the trout.
Prepare the Smoker
Light your smoker and set it up for indirect cooking at low temperature (around 80-90 °C).
Pro tip: Add applewood chips to the charcoal for a sweet flavor.
Salt the Trout
Before smoking, lightly sprinkle the trout fillets with salt.
Pro tip: Salt helps enhance the flavors and preserve the trout.
Smoke the Trout
Place the trout fillets on the smoker rack and close the lid. Smoke for 1 to 1.5 hours, until the trout is cooked and tender.
Pro tip: Check the cooking regularly to avoid overcooking the fish.
Serve
Remove the trout from the smoker and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Pro tip: Serve with lemon slices and a green salad for a light meal.
