Smoked salmon

[c farmer]

Found this nice side of salmon to try.


Mixed up a brine of brown sugar and salt, in the fridge over night.


What it looked like the next morning.


Then on a rack to dry in the fridge.


Dried nice and ready for the smoker.


Used Italian spice pellets from Todd in the expandable tube.


In the smoker at 150. The color is off cause it was dark.


Pulled at 140 IT.


Nice and flaky.


Served up with some veggies that I should have thrown in the smoke but didn't.

Isnt lox cold smoked?

Yep it's smoked around 65-70* after being fully cured.

It looked like yours might have been cold smoked until i read the post, still love me some salmon.

Smoked salmon is my daughters favorite thing that comes off my smoker, so I make it often. I do a similar procedure as you, comes out delicious. I heat up some apricot preserves and grind black pepper into it and brush the salmon lightly when it's about a half hour from done, adds a nice sweetness.

Thanks everyone. It was my first smoked salmon. The wife loved it so I get to make more.

Can't believe it.

Great job!

Did you do it in the mini-WSM or something else?
