Morning everyone. I was in the store last night and saw some frozen smoked salmon nuggets. I was drooling at the idea and figured that would be a perfect snack for a Labour Day gathering this weekend. I have the salmon and was wondering if any of you have tried smoking nuggets. I plan to remove the skin and cut them into one inch chunks. I am going to dry brine them.
I don't want them to dry out so I was wondering if anyone has done these before, what temp setting did you have and how long did you cook them. I usually cook my salmon at 100F and raise it about 20F an hour for 4-5 hours until I get the proper IT. I assume that will be far to long for these little nuggets.
I would love any advice from people who have tried these.
So they turned out really nice. I admit that they were not as moist as if the whole fillet are smoked. But, for a bite size snack for a party, this was great and VERY popular. I also made a honey ginger glaze for them after and also had a whipped cream cheese dip for them. Was delish!!
Here is the recipe

WOW!
Very Nice!!! Great Idea Too
Awesome! Sorry i didn't see your thread earlier... i almost ALWAYS smoke salmon as nuggets. Works great. I like the smaller pieces because there is more surface area for the brine and smoke.
Great pics too!
MrRaven,
I see that you glazed them after, by after do you mean while they were still warm out of the smoker or just before you served them?
Awesome!
Those look great.

They look really good!
Nice job ;)
I put the glaze on afterwards, but I actually wish I had brushed it on a couple times during the smoking. I think it would have gone on better and produced a better result. It was delish, but just want to fine tune it.
Now that's a tasty lookin treat.
Great looking recipe Steve. Thanks for posting it here for us.
Looks delish, very nice
I really like this idea. They look so good. Has anybody done this with Kummok's recipe?? ::)
