There are a variety of accessories available for the Barrel House Cooker, including a cedar plank. When soaked in water before using, the plank imparts a subtle woodsy flavor to your seafood while it’s smoking.
It’s also small enough, that there is still enough room on the smoker for a small pot to steam up some rice. Just be sure that your pot and lid are oven proof.
For this recipe, I placed both the entree and side on the center rack.
To accompany the finger-licking Asian glaze that gets brushed across the smoked salmon, add a teaspoon of sesame oil to your rice pot. It really takes it to the next level.
