I made Salmon Lox over the weekend using Spyguy's recipe.  This is the best recipe that produces a incredible lox.
I want to share some pictures

All the supplies

WET Brine all mixed up

Dry Brine all mixed up

Salmon all cut up

After 8 hours in the Dry brine, look at all the moisture it pulled out of the salmon

Salmon after the Dry Brine  look at the colour

Into the Wet brine for 8 hours

Freshening the Salmon after the wet Brine

Drying the Salmon

In the cold smoker for 3 hours

Hey Squirtthecat

The fan is working great, even turning down the fan speed I still had to raise the coupler up off the smoker by a 1/4" to allow it to draw some room air instead of all the air from the smoker.  Someone did suggest that or drilling some holes in it.  No more problem with moisture. :) :) :)

Looks fantastic Mike. Thanks for sharing the pics. I have a bunch of reds from the copper river left over sooooo. Lox it is.  :P :)

I have GOT to do that!  Every now an then we get some fresh wild caught "Alaskan" salmon.  I've planked it, poached it and grilled it.  I have simply got to try the Lox.

Mike,
That is excellent!  Thanks for the pics.  I have got to do that and I have 4-5 whole sockeye salmon fillets just laying around in the freezer waiting for something like that.

Thanks again.

Hey mike good to here from a fellow B.C.er. I have to say that I have never been much for lox. But I will eat sushi with raw salmon on it, go figure ey. But those lox of yours look pretty damn good. So I think I will have to try it out. I lived near Prince George for 6 years and when the kids were born we decided we didn't want them growing up and being strangers to the relatives or we would probably still be there. I loved it up there.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.
