Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Combine 2 cups of water, dark brown sugar, maple syrup, kosher salt, and honey in a bowl and mix well.

Add the smoked salmon chunks to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Cover the bowl with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 3 to 24 hours to marinate.

After marinating, remove the salmon from the marinade and rinse it lightly under cold water to reduce saltiness.

Place the salmon on a baking sheet and let it sit uncovered for 2 to 4 hours to firm up.

Sprinkle a little smoked paprika and cayenne pepper on top of the salmon.

Prepare the grill by covering the grates with aluminum foil and placing the salmon on top, ensuring indirect heat.

Light the grill with about 15 briquettes and maintain a temperature of 175 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add soaked wood chips to the grill and cover it, allowing the salmon to smoke for 2 to 4 hours until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
