2. Rub the skin side of the salmon with oil and put it, skin side down, on a sheet of foil.
3. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with seasoning.
4. Massage the seasoning into the salmon to create an outside rub, then sprinkle with pepper, to taste.
5. Put the salmon with the foil on a smoker rack and close the lid.
6. Smoke the salmon for 30 to 35 minutes and cooked to a medium doneness.
7. Do not open the smoker lid during cooking time.
