How to Make Smoked Salmon Tacos on the SNS Kamado Grill

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through how to make delicious smoked salmon tacos using the SNS Kamado Grill. Whether you're a taco enthusiast or a seafood lover, the combination of fresh ingredients and the beautiful smoky flavour of the salmon is bound to impress. Let’s get started! 

Step 1: Prepare the SNS Kamado Grill

Start by lighting your SNS Kamado Grill. You’ll want to bring the temperature up to about 300°F (149°C) for slow and even cooking. While waiting for the grill to heat up, you can prepare your salmon.

Step 2: Season the Salmon

Grab your favourite seafood rub. For this recipe, we're using Flaming Coals Greek Gyros Rub. Although it's traditionally used for Greek-style meats, it works perfectly as an all-purpose seasoning for seafood too. Generously coat your salmon with the rub to give it that rich, flavourful taste.

Step 3: Prepare the Grill for the Salmon

Instead of placing the salmon directly on the grill (which could cause it to break apart), use the stainless steel SNS dripping griddle pan. This will keep the salmon intact while it cooks and prevents it from falling through the grates.

Step 4: Add Smoking Wood for Extra Flavour

Once your Kamado Grill has reached the desired temperature, it's time to add some wood for that signature smoky taste. Peach wood is the choice here, adding a mild, fruity flavour. However, you can use any light fruit wood you prefer, like apple or cherry.

Step 5: Smoke the Salmon

Place the seasoned salmon on the griddle pan inside the smoker and let it cook for just over an hour at 300°F (149°C). You'll want to keep an eye on the colour as when it's done, the salmon should have a beautiful golden brown hue.

Step 6: Check for Doneness

After around an hour, open the grill and check your salmon. Use a probe to check the internal temperature—your target is 140°F (60°C), and anything around that range is perfect. In this case, ours reached 142°F, which is spot on!

Step 7: Prepare Taco Ingredients

While the salmon is resting, gather your taco ingredients. Keep it simple with:

• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Salsa
• Guacamole
• Jalapeños (optional)
• Shredded cheese (optional)
• Feel free to customise your tacos with any of your favourite fillings!

Step 8: Warm Up the Taco Shells

For an extra crunch and a touch of smokiness, place your corn taco shells in the smoker for a few minutes. This small step adds a delightful flavour to the shells, elevating your taco game.

Step 9: Assemble the Tacos

Now that everything is ready, it's time to assemble your tacos! Flake the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and layer it into your warm taco shells. Add the fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato, guacamole, and salsa. The combinations are endless, so feel free to get creative!

Step 10: Enjoy!

Your smoked salmon tacos are now ready to eat! Be warned—they’re deliciously messy but packed with flavour. Grab a napkin and dig in!
