UDS Smoked Salmon...

JD McGee · May 30, 2009

I finally got to play with my UDS and smoke some Sockeye Salmon today.

I did a four hour simple brine and smoked it on the UDS III @ 200-220 with Comp K and Alderwood. The large fillet is Copper River...

I smoked it a little dry (on purpose) to an internal of 160 so it would flake well for salads! All I need now is Swamprb's recipe for smoked salmon fettuccine.

Thanks for checkin' out my salmon...:biggrin:

I don't mind at all bro...

1 quart hot water...
1 quart cold water...
1/2 cup kosher salt...
1/2 cup granulated sugar...

Dissolve the sugar and salt in the hot water...then add the cold...then add the salmon. Easy peasy...

I brined about 4 lbs for 4-5 hours...rinsed in cold water...pat dry with paper towels...air dry on a wire rack for 1-2 hours until the pellicle forms...smoke @ 200 for 1 1/2 -2 hours depending on how dry you want your fish. It's fully cooked at an internal temp of 145 but I pulled mine @ 160. We wanted it a bit drier so as to use in salads and sauces. Good Luck with your smoke!

Alder and Blackberry are the two prodominant weeds of the pacific NW. They are everywhere and almost impossible to get rid of.
