Can I brine too much?

[johnnytahoe]

I put about 10 pounds of Salmon in the cure for Indian Candy last Friday night, only to find on Sunday that my smoker needs a replacement part to operate. I have since, left the salmon in the marinade.

Can this be too long for it to sit? I probably won't get my replacement part until early next week.

Will my salmon survive this extened bath (it has been covered and in the fridge)?

johnnytahoe,
Talk about bad timing for a break down! I would be concerned about spoilage of the fish, especially since you don't know for sure when your smoker will be operational again.
I would remove the fish from the brine, wrap well or cover with water and freeze the fish. Thaw and smoke once you know that the smoker is working.
