01.

Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a long sheet of foil (a couple of inches longer than your fillet) on a large baking sheet.

Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and place it on the sheet of foil. Fold up the sides of the foil around the salmon, creating a sort of boat. Sprinkle salmon with sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.

02.

Transfer the salmon to the preheated smoker and close the lid. Smoke for 30 to 60 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
