Smoked Coho Salmon

[dogtuk]

Hello Everyone
The kids wanted smoked salmon so my buddy Bill gave me a small Coho and I dry brined it in rock salt for 1 1/2 hours and placed it into the smoker using Apple for smoke turned out pretty good

Look's great!!! I have been feasting on lope jerky and just had lope back straps from the smoker tonight Wish we lived close we could have done some trading

what did you use for a brine ? looks amazing

[dogtuk]

Just Rock salt put on a heavy coat for 1 1/2 hours rinse off salt let set for a couple hours to form a glaze then smoke

Just finished up a batch of cheese myself....
Hey dogtuck what temperature and for how long did you smoke the salmon for?
I plan on doing some salmon tomorrow.

[dogtuk]

I started it at 140 for about 4 hours heavy smoke then up to 160 for an hour then finished at 180 the last step at 180 was a little warm next time will just go to 160 til its done

That sounds great dogtuk, thanks.
I am thinking about spritzing my smoke salmon with a light maple syrup mix as it smokes.  Never tried it but thought it would be interesting to try.
My mouth is watering just thinking about it....
