Smoked Salmon
My husband and i manufacture meat smokers and we of course use our own product regularly. We had tried several smoked salmon recipes but this one tasted the best to us. The recipe was given to my husband by a co-worker.
Steps
In a large bowl , mix all brine ingredients thoroughly.
In a large , deep pan combine whole salmon fillets with the brine mixture to soak over night , keeping refrigerated.
Rinse thoroughly after brining.
Pat dry with a paper towel and allow to air dry for at least one hour prior to smoking.
Lay salmon fillets on smoker rack skin side down.
Cook in smoker at 165f for 3-5 hours.
Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
