Smoked Pink Salmon Recipe
Sweet Smoked Pink Salmon Living in the pacific northwest, the opportunity to catch salmon is almost year round. On the odd number years the humpies run in huge numbers, so its quite easy to catch plenty of fish for the smoker. Our smoked salmon recipes work well with all species of salmon, although we did use 20 humpy fillets with this recipe. They turned out excellent. The Brine
Mix the spices and apple juice together until thoroughly combined. Put the fillets in the brine, then put the brine in the reefer or a cooler with ice in it. After 12 hours in the brine, remove and rinse each piece with cold water and pat dry. Place the fillets on racks skin side down to air dry in a cool place. When the flesh of the fish is slightly tacky, it’s ready to smoke. A small fan will speed up this process and help keep flies away. The Smoker Arrange the fillets in the smoker skin side down leaving a little room between each one. Smoke the fish for 4 hours at 140 to 150 degrees. At this point they’re done the way I like my smoked fish. If it’s not done enough for your taste, give it another hour or so in the smoker until you get what you’re looking for. Then start eating, you’ll be amazed! Try our sweet smoked pink salmon recipe and lets get smoky!
