Have a question the smoked salmon you buy in a grocery store that is smoked kind of wet ,what is that called ?My kids love that stuff and i would like to try that ty
This thread on the list will give you lots of ideas. I have tried with and without the brine...I like the brined salmon best. Make sure you dry out after in the refrigerator overnight uncovered to form a pellicle. Don't rush your product. You will find out what techinique you like best. I frankly don't care much for salmon generally, but both attempts were delicious and I was proud to share with friends.

Got dumb question on the pickling salt in brine recipe did you mean pickling spice?
It is not a dumb question. Pickling salt is a very fine ground salt that has no additives, it looks like table salt. I believe the Diamond Crystal brand comes in a round plastic jar (or that may be Morton's, I should go to my pantry to check). It is a much denser then kosher salt and is equal to approximately 1 1/2 cups of Morton's Kosher salt, and about 2 cups of Diamond Crystal Kosher salt.
well ive got my first bunch soaking .....yehaw
