SALMON! Canning and Smoking question
« on: August 19, 2014, 02:47:24 PM »
Well my dad found some salmon to smoke and can and cook.  :IBCOOL: My uncle goes through a commercial fisherman and we got a pretty damn good deal. So we have 12 Sockeye to use!

So here are my questions...1)how do you smoke salmon so it doesn't ruin your smoker? Before we had one smoker for salmon and one for other. Everything taste fishy after you smoke fish in a smoker. 2)Canning...recipes? I was thinking just salt and put it the pressure cooker. Anything else?

I just did a batch for the first time last weekend. I searched a few threads on here and read up a bit on it. I did like NRAforlife and a 30-40 min smoke, the skin (and dark lateral line) comes right off. My time was 110 min at 15 lbs here in Spokane according to my book. I did a short (30 min) saltwater brine prior to smoking so I didn't add any salt.
It canned well, and is pretty tasty on crackers. It is a bit dry for my taste. I may do it next time without smoking and just add a few drops of liquid smoke.
Like I said this was my first time, so don't rely to much on me.
As far as the smell???? I just continue to use the same smoker. :dunno:

Look on your canning book for fish same time I don't have the minutes with me but should be the same as regular fish don't add oil or anything the fish oil is the best hope it helps if not I can give u the whole recipe when I get back in town  :tup:

If you can vac pack and freeze it, I would do that 100x over canning.  I never had great experiences with canned fish, it's marginal at best.

Got 12 Sockeye, smoked 6, canned 2 and vacuumed the rest.

No oil added just 1/8 teaspoon of canning salt. Tried it for lunch today, and it tasted dry...any suggestions?

Since it is smoked, it is already cooked right? So how long do you pressure cook?
