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.
