My dwell time of 6 hours was for hot smoking, but my Nova lox takes a 10 to 12 hour in a salt/sugar dry cure followed by a up to 12 hours in a brine cure, also salt and sugar. I don't season until equalizing overnight, and use black pepper, white pepper and dill. I get sort of a candied texture with the double cure.

I never use the farm-raised salmon. Ignoring the quality issues, something in the farm-raised fish sets off my wife's asthma. Having said that, use the best quality salmon you can afford. I never cold smoke fish - or just about anything - without using cure #1. Cold smoking just violates too many of the safety rules of smoking. Cure #1 makes it safer for the people who are going to be eating your food. Keep things clean! |

Post-four-hours of apple wood smoke, pre-vacuum packing. Most of it is now in the freezer resting. One pack is out for testing later.

That looks awesome
I use lump with some apple and pecan woods chunks. I cook it at -50 for a few hrs and then start to increase slowly the temp. Take over 4 hrs. I do it in met Egg using a Guru to control Temps. I use Gore’s recipe. It’s excellent. I buy my Salmon at a Whole Foods. It’s farm raised. Comes out Great

Cold smoked salmon for the first time this weekend!! Turned out pretty good i thought. These were thin fillets, likely from the first few fish I caught this summer, while I was still learning how to fillet! I will certainly be doing this again and playing with my cute mixture to add more flavor.
