Title: Mr. Fuzzybear's Salmon Recipe
Post by: David6340 on July 27, 2004, 05:17:51 PM
Mr. Fuzzybear,
I've made your marinade and have 8 skinless salmon filets soaking in it since 10:30 this morning. If I wanted to start smoking them today at about 3:00pm would that be enough marinade time, (4 1/2 hours)?

Thanks,
Dave

We just had a great dinner after using Fuzzybear's recipe for skinless salmon filets. 4 1/2 hour marinade worked fine. 3 1/2 hours at 150 - 175. Maple bisquettes. Best salmon we've ever had!!! Thank you again <font color="red"><b>Mr</b></font id="red">. Fuzzybear! (My mother always told me to have respect for age. I'm 53)
I love my Bradley[:)]

Glad it turned out well for you....I love the simple recipe for two reasons:  (1) simple (2) more on the sweeter side rather than the salty side.

Yeah, Mr. Bradley did good for us!

Well, you are right. I got off to a rocky start, overloading untrimmed spare ribs. Out of frustration, I even ordered a WSM. But I decided to be persistent with the Bradley and rebounded with a delicious, skinless turkey breast and over this last weekend, two 7 pound pork butts for pulled pork that came out great. It is trial and error and you are so correct when you say, learn from your mistakes.

I copied it when I read it.  It is as follows: <blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Salmon Brine Marinade

Brine:
1/2 cup salt (your choice)
2 cups brown sugar
6 cups water
(we like our fish less on the salty side and more on the sweeter side)

Stir till mixed in a large bowl or pan.

Fish:
2 - 2lb fillets cut into 1 1/2 inch wide (across the fillet) strips
Cut fish into strips, place in brine and cover with a plate (keep all the fish in the brine)

Fish will soak for 6 to 24 hours - sorry, have not made my mind up how long I want to stay awake tonight!

Will smoke at 150-170 degrees for up to 4 hours with either maple or apple wood - have not made up my mind there yet either but I am leaning towards the maple since I used brown sugar....I'll let you guys know tomorrow how things turn out!

Just too easy!

I have a fan blowing across my salmon right now for second time around and looking for pellicle.  Will be using Alder only.

I know you will enjoy this recipe irregardless how you prepare.  It is pretty foolproof.  Rember to watch the temp.  If you have white boogers on the flesh, turn down the heat.

I am going to try the following this time(from Bradley Recipe):

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Start the Bradley Smoker at a very low temperature, 40°C to 60°C (100°F to120°F), for 1 to 2 hours. After the first couple of hours increase temperature to 70°C (140°F) for 2 to 4 hours. Finish at 80°C (175°F) for 1 to 2 hours.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

Nothing in concrete, but want to try somthing a little different and will be adding some spice and maybe some fresh dill on top this time.

It is scary how good a job this smoker does, isn't it?  I am going to have to limit my food eaten soon (surgery), and only will able to eat  a bit of this and that, definitely want it to be high protein and taste good.. Everything tastes sooo good that comes out of it!
