have 4 fillets in a simple dry brine in the fridge right now.  4 cups brown sugar, 1 cup salt.
i will try a few different things on them before the smoker..thinking a little fresh cracked pepper on one, some jalapeno slices on another..

2lbs brown sugar, 1c canning/pickling salt. Good for about 6-10 lbs fillets depending on size of fillets. Dry brine for ~12 hrs under refrigeration. Rinse and then either fan or put in cool dehydrator until pellicle forms. Smoke for about 1hr at ~140 then crank to about 165 until just before desired dryness is reached then to 180 until internal temp reaches 160.

To candy - halve the salt and double the brine time on thinner cut strips or fillets. Keep at 165 longer to dry more and get internal temp of biggest piece to 160. A little dry brown sugar on the fillets before smoking can add a bit more candy if you desire.

To can - halve salt and smoke time.  Put in pint or 1/2 pint jars right after smoke ends and process at 11psi for 100 minutes.

the jalapeno slices laid on top adds the PERFECT little bit of heat.
other pieces had, garlic, honey+pepper, honey + red pepper flakes, orange zest, and a few with nothing added

There are really just 2 main ingredients - brown sugar and salt -  then add spices to your taste.

Lately I've settled on a 4:1 ration of sugar to salt, dry brine - about 12 hours in the brine -  maybe add some cloves, allspice, pepper, garlic - whatever you like -

make sure that you get the a good pellicle layer before you smoke it.

 :yeah: The key to good smoked salmon is the pellicle layer.

I use a  brown sugar, salt, Tiger sauce, and Thai chili sauce mixture.

I can't believe I haven't considered Tiger sauce for smoked fish. Would you mind sharing your recipe/ratios?

Kind of off the top of my head, 1 cup water, 2 cups soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup salt, 1 small bottle Tiger sauce, 1/4 or 1/2 cup Thai chili sauce. Brine overnight, then pull out of brine and set on rack to dry and form the pellicle. When it gets shiny, I smoke it.

Giving that one a go for sure. Thanks!

Most of these guys have covered the recipes for brines and cook times/temps perfectly. Only thing I can add is use alder mainly for salmon or fish in general. We always use a lot of alder chips mixed with a small amount of either apple or cherry wood. Smoke on ladies and gents!

I use one that I find my googling 5cent smoked salmon.
But I stop prior to the honey glazing step and just start eating it.

It is mostly Brown sugar, salts and several other spices. If you are missing 1-2 it still comes out great.   I have done mine on a traeger at the lowest heat setting I can.
In God we trust, all others bring cash.

Do not say, Why were the old days better than these? For it is not wise to ask such questions.
