MMMMMMMMMM Salmon

[Mr B]

Here's some Salmon I caught on the Trinity River a week prior.

18 hours in my Aunts Special Brine Recipe.

After drying w/ paper towel, left to air-dry for and hour.  Cover in Fresh Cracked Black Pepper

Smoke 2 hrs @205 over Apple (80%) Alder (10%) and Hickory (10%)

Looks good Mr B.

Nice!  Care to share the brine recipe?  (without causing a family rift)

I'm going to try fish one of these days...   Salmon is too rich for the Mrs, so I might try some smoked halibut or ahi tuna or marlin or something like that.

That Salmon looks good.  I don't have a good brine recipe for hot smoked fish. I'm with Squirt, if you care to share.

my smoker does not seem to be heating up above 110 F and is not hot smoking my salmon, any tips? :'(

Is the element glowing read? It sounds like you are only getting heat from the Smoke generator.

Hey Squirt

I've had great luck with trout from Costco.

Makes a great appetizer with crackers .

Thanks for the love guys.  I hope you can understand, I made a promiss 20 years ago to never tell her brine recipe to anyone.  I love sharing when I can, but this is a family recipe.  I dont mean to be a jerk or anything.  It is what it is.  My brother, myself and one other person know it.  And thats how she wants it.
It is simple though.  A certain liquid, salt and brown sugar.

Thanks guys
Mr B
