Instructions

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.
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. Begin checking the temperature using a thermometer after 30 minutes. Note: the salmon will continue cooking after it is taken off of the smoker, so you can pull it off around 140 to 143 and it will raise temperature while resting.
Allow the salmon to rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
