I've used this recipe in the oven, but just had to try it on my new Masterbuilt Digital Smoker. OMG- it's a "wow'r"!
Ingredients: Honey Coarse ground sea salt Pepper & Garlic (a McCormick's Grinder) Cavender's (some prefer Cayenne) Soaked tilapia filets in a sugar/salt brine for 1 hour. (Pic 1)
Patted dry, then generously Glazed the tops with honey (just the top). Added the spices (just the top). (Pic 2)
You apply both the honey & seasoning to the tops only, and the smoke works its magic from below.
Loaded up the Smoker (used half hickory & half apple chips) (Pic 4)
220 degrees - 1 hour Results (Pic 5,6,7) - INCREDIBLE !
Depending upon how you like your fish, you might then place them, bottom side up, under a broiler for a fewminutes to get that crusted edge on the bottom, but you wont believe how well the sweet/salty combination works with the smoke. ENJOY ! -------------------- Par Seven

I have yet to try Tilapia, however your recipe sounds so easy and it looks so good that I may just have to give it a shot tonight!
Thanks for posting! |
