Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon, (Preferably wild salmon)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt, (divided)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, (half sliced for cooking, half juiced for the sauce)
- 4-5 sprigs fresh dill, (half for cooking, half minced for the sauce)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Start by making a fire or heating a charcoal grill. Prepare the sauce by mixing together the yogurt, minced dill, lemon juice, and half of the salt.
- Create an open foil packet around the salmon. Rub the brown sugar, black pepper and remaining salt on the salmon and top with the dill and lemon.
- Push the fire or charcoal to one side of the grill and place the salmon packet on the colder side. Take another piece of foil and loosely tent the salmon so that some of the smoke can enter. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the top of salmon is just cooked through. You may have adjust the location of the salmon based on your fire/grill.
- Serve right out the foil packet with the yogurt sauce for an authentic camp expeirance.

Notes
- Try to find an area of the fire/grill that will allow the most smoke to enter the foil pack, that's how you get a nice smoked flavor for this salmon. You don't want the salmon to cook too fast, try to find a cooler zone of the fire.
