For Smoked Salmon (Grill)

1. Preheat your smoker or grill for indirect heat to 225°F using fruitwood such as apple or cherry.
2. Lightly season the salmon with salt and pepper.
3. Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill grates.
4. Smoke for 45–60 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
5. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, brush the salmon generously with the mango glaze 2–3 times, allowing each layer to caramelize.
6. Cook until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and flakes easily with a fork.

For Oven-Roasted Salmon

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper.
3. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and brush generously with the mango glaze.
4. Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
5. During the last 5 minutes, brush on another layer of glaze. For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
