I grew up on salmon and this is by far the best candied salmon I have ever had. Cancel out the glaze if you just want a somewhat dry smoked product. Still amazing. Don't forget that orange zest! It's the secret

  6. 7cloves of garlic (crushed)
  7. 2 tbspGinger (grated)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut Salmon into half inch stips

  2. 2

    Combine all brine ingredients into a large container. I use a roasting pan. Mix well. Don't be afraid to get in there with your hands.

  3. 3

    Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.

  4. 4

    Take out of container and drip excess liquid. Place on dry racks with space in between. Dry in front of fan for at least 24 hours. 3 to 4 days would be ideal. I can't stress enough how important this is. It makes all the difference.

  5. 5

    Mix all glaze ingredients into a pot and reduce until thick.

  6. 6

    Brush both sides of salmon with the glaze. Continue to brush and coat salmon every hour that it is in the smoker.

  7. 7

    Smoke for 4 hours at 160°F.
