Directions:
1. Place trout fillets, skin side down, in a large baking dish.
2. Combine brown sugar, salt, dill, pepper and onion powder in a medium-size bowl. Mix with your fingers to break up any lumps.
3. Spread the cure mixture over the trout fillets to completely cover them. Place in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
4. Remove fillets from refrigerator and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Let the fillets dry at room temperature for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat smoker to 275°F. Toss 1-2 wood chunks onto hot coals for smoking.
6. Place trout fillets in the smoker. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
HOT TIPTo check for doneness, gently push down with your finger near the edge of the fillet. If the flesh falls apart easily, it’s done.
7. Remove trout from the smoker. Top with dill, capers and minced onion. Serve on grilled bread with sour cream on the side.
