Smoking fish this weekend

[pharmseller]

Gotta do something with all the salmon in the freezer so I thought I'd run a batch through the smoker this weekend.



Wet brine with brown sugar, soy, garlic salt, minced garlic, and black pepper. Skin side up after pic.



Three big fillets per container, brined in the fridge overnight.



Alder smoke tomorrow. Should be fantastic.

My recipe for jerky and smoked salmon

I have tried A LOT of different recipes and have never really been that happy with any of them, until now. I use the same ingredients for elk, deer and salmon and it comes out just the way I like it so I thought I would pass it along. 1 cup brown sugar 3 tblsp garlic salt 1 or 2 tblsp soy...

I always dry the fillets ( never ever steaks) as much as I can with paper towels, dry rub liberally with Black Pepper and Paul Prudhomme's meat magic (original blend only) pan fried smokin hot with olive oil to sear the bark to the flesh, then off to the smoker for 4 to 6 hours depending on the wood and outside temps! If I cold smoke it, it only takes around 4 hours to get it nice and smokey but not overly done, I still want to taste the fish. Once it's done in the smoker, it should be fully cooked, but still nice and juicy, so off to the oven with a good coating of miracle whip and green onions and thin sliced lemon and baked for half an hour covered in foil! Serve with fresh steamed veggies of choice and lots of drawn butter, perfection!

For a sweater flavor, a few spoons full of clover honey, 3 super fine crushed anise seed, and crushed dill weed and a pinch of dill seeds, prep and finish as above! Best with fresh baked Russian Black Bread and sweet cream butter, and any steamed veggies of choice, personally, I like Broccoli, and Baby Carrots!


Nice looking Fish Pharm, share the finished Picts!

Four hours of smoke at 150F the probe said 127F. I was shooting for 130F so I said good enough for the girls I go out with.

Broke off a chunk and took it to the bride.

She said perfect.

Salmon was so much fun I decided to try thick cut pepper bacon over apple chips



I'm not kidding.



Amazing

Careful with that stuff - you could become your own best customer!

Fish looks great.

Bacon looks superb.

Bacon turned out okay. Shoulda glazed with maple syrple.

How do you smoke a fish?
Roll it in Zig-Zags?
In a bong?
Does it get you high? What is a fish buzz like?

I don't think that's what he meant.



He clearly was referring to this
