Ingredients

  1. 2 (10 lb)salmon
  2. 4 cupspacked dark brown sugar
  3. 3/4 cupcourse kosher salt
  4. 1 tbsgarlic powder
  5. 1 tbswhite pepper
  6. 1 tbslemon pepper
  7. 1/2 tbsground mustard
  8. 1/2 tbsground ginger

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix all ingredients except salmon

  2. 2

    Fillet and remove rib bones from salmon. Leave skin on. Cut into serving sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Lay brine mix in the bottom of a extra large glass baking pan

  4. 4

    Place a layer of salmon skin side down.

  5. 5

    Cover with brine mix. Lay next layer meat side down and cover with more brine. Next layer lay skin side down and cover with more brine.

  6. 6

    Cover with saran wrap and brine in fridge 24 hrs

  7. 7

    After brining, remove fish. Rinse lightly. Place on a towel to dry. A small fan will speed up the process

  8. 8

    Place in your smoker. Fish must be dry. Moisture will collect soot from the smoke.

  9. 9

    Smoke between 120 - 150 degrees. Add smoke for two hours. Then just heat for 2. Keep repeating this process. Fish will be done in 18 hrs. The thinner belly and tail pieces will be done first. Thicker pieces may require more time.

  10. 10

    Fish will keep in the fridge up to three weeks. But it never lasts that long around me.

cooking is a passion of mine. I started when I was very young and I had to drag a milk crate around to see over the counter. taught by a career cook (my grandmother ). I have always tried to push the boundaries of conventional cooking. I prefer cooking wild game. when I can get my hands on it, but fish is more readily available for me. I raise and butcher most of the livestock that I use for my conventional recipes. I hope everyone can find a few recipes they like in my list.
