No skin if they are humpies they will keep sliming in the brine! Chrome fish with or without skin..

You were definitely right about them sliming in the brine! Didn't seem to affect the fish from what I could tell though. I tried both brines and yours definitely took the prize. My wife is happy with the product so I'm gearing up to stuff the smoker on Tuesday so I have a big batch to take elk hunting with me.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Yeah it's been great steadfast recipe thanks! Humpy sliming in brine is so gross, I always filet them off the skin!

Smoked some leftover springer I had in the freezer last weekend.  I used your brine recipe and smoked it for about 9 hrs @ 125 degrees.  I added the sweet glaze to half of the fish at about 7.5 hrs.  WOW! is all I can say.  It was the best smoked salmon I think I've ever had.  The kids and in-laws had it devoured in no time.  They really loved the glazed ones.  I will definitely be using this brine recipe again.  Thank you for sharing.

 here is some steelhead I just did up for deer camp.

Bumping this up for the 2014 salmon smoking season  :hello:
 
I’m not usually a fan of soy sauce brines but I’m giving this one a shot on part of my one and only (so far anyway) king that I didn’t have to throw back.  This fish was hard to come by so I hope this turns out.  Went in the brine at 4:30pm so I’ll be draining it at 12:30am.

Turned out great!  The thinner pieces ended up a bit salty, next time I'll take them out of the brine sooner.

Double or triple your suger.  :tup:
Thats a 2 to 1 suger/salt brine. And Soy is all salt too.
Rinse and let it sit overnight in the fridge. Then the meat on the outside carmelises! Mmmmm....

if its not in too long or the pieces are not too small that recipe will never be too salty thats the reason its a soy sauce recipe.
