Ingredients:

  • 2 Northern Pike fillets (or any white fish of your choice)
  • 2 tbsp Rave Lickity Lemon Pepper Rub
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zested and sliced)
  • 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup white wine or lemon juice (for moisture)
  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Fish:

    • Rinse the Northern Pike fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Lay the fillets on a flat surface, skin-side down.

  2. Season the Fish:

    • Drizzle the fillets with olive oil, then generously season both sides with Rave Lickity Lemon Pepper Rub. Sprinkle with minced garlic, and add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Prepare the Smoker:

    • Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Add wood chips (like applewood or alder) for a mild, sweet smoke flavor.

  4. Smoke the Fish:

    • Place the seasoned fillets on the smoker grates, skin-side down. Close the smoker lid and smoke for 30-45 minutes, or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. Add Lemon and Wine:

    • During the last 15 minutes of smoking, place lemon slices on top of the fillets and drizzle with white wine or lemon juice to keep the fish moist.

  6. Serve:

    • Remove the fish from the smoker and garnish with fresh dill or parsley. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

This Lickity Lemon Pepper Smoked Northern Pike combines zesty lemon and pepper flavors with the smoky richness of the fish, making it a perfect light and flavorful dish for any seafood lover!
