Smoking Salmon

s


When in AK, do as Alaskans! One of Don's coworkers invited us to learn how to smoke salmon. We met at his house with our fish. I brought silvers which was all we had, but we learned it is better to use reds! Anyway first we cut the fish with skin on into uniform size pieces. Next we made a brine of a strong salt solution with brown sugar and some spices including hot spices. Next, the fish had to soak for a few hours. We then rinsed the fish lightly and put them on paper to dry overnight. The next day the fish were put into a smoker and smoked for about eight hours. After that, we vacuum sealed them for future use. Delicious!
