    Porcine perfect, I think. I have to taste it first.

    I've used only wet brines for salmon. I've done this one minus the glaze. First part is the brine. Just note that there is a difference between smoking and "baking" a salmon. This recipe is great for bagels and cream cheese :drool: Good on salads too. When I bake my salmons I don't usually brine.

    Yep. You'll get better the more you smoke. My first attempts sucked and I second guessed my purchase. Now I'm a wanna be pro up from a N00b

    • 1 c kosher salt
    • 2 c dark brown sugar
    • 1 Tbsp (heaping) coarse ground black pepper (I don't use this)
    • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
    • 1 Tbsp onion powder
    • 1 Tbsp celery salt
    Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
    Place it in a pan skin side down and cover completely, or as much as possible, with the brine.
    Cover and refrigerate overnight.
    Rinse all of the brine off with cold water and pat dry.
    Place it on a tray and leave it at room temperature for 2-3 hours. It will get a sticky coating called a pellicle, I had to look that word up because I couldn't remember it.
    Smoke at 200-210 for about 4 hours. I usually check it after about 3. If you use a meat thermometer you want about 140-145. I don't bother with one because you can tell by flaking a small bit, just like baked fish.
    If you're a purist, or an Alaskan, use only alder wood. I can't find that here so I use about 25 hickory and 75 apple.

    We like it on bagels with cream cheese, capers and minced onions. It's also good on crackers, salad or just by itself. My wife's b-day is next week, now you got me thinking about a nice Sunday brunch.

    That does sound good. @COMiamiFan why don't you use the glaze?

    Yep. Definitely needs the pellicle for smoke absorption.

    I got it from a friend. I had screwed up a fair amount of salmon before I tasted hers. It took me a couple of tries to get the time and temp right, but I think I caught up to her now.

    Some Surf&Turf: T-bones I smoked on the pellet smoker last weekend. I had it in the smoker to about 110 degrees and then finished them on a very hot grill for sear marks and caramelization. Scallops were smoked and finished in garlic butter. Shrimp was on the smoker for just a little bit and then finished in spicy Cajun butter. Served with roasted baby potatoes.

    Well here's the beginning. Started smoking about 15 minutes ago. Hopefully in 3 hours we have some smoked salmon.20190725_160337.jpg

    I went with the dry brine . I had all of the ingredients. I'm going to have the HH6 pick up another piece of salmon and the missing ingredients and do up the recipe Jose gave me next week. We usually have salmon once a week anyway, always baked it in the past.
