Maple Glazed, Maple Smoked Candied Pink Salmon w/pics

[MWS]

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I smoked 5 pink salmon using maple wood (2 hours) and a glaze of maple syrup. I also added some ginger and honey to the initial brine. I added the maple syrup glaze at the 8 hour mark and removed the salmon at 10 hours. The finished product has a very nice jerky texture with a nice blend of sweet and salty. I think a smoked salmon chowder is on the dinner list for tonight.  :P

Looks good. I assume that was a cold smoke ?

That does look good. Later this morning I heading out to buy some Alaskan Sockeye $9.99/lb. In my area, that's the cheapest I've seen all season for wild salmon.

$9.99 a pound for Sockeye?  I dream of finding that price for Sockeye.  Add at least $5 to that price here in Toronto.

Nice smoke MWS.  Looks delicious.

Can you post your chowder recipe?

Oh YEAH!! The Pinks look like they won't last long enough to make it into a chowder!.....I'm just a little concerned about all the flowers in the pic though, Mike...tell me yer just giving the salmon a memorial service!?!?!?   :o ;) ;)

Thanks.  I'll definitely check out that recipe....and since we just finished up my last batch of Salmon this weekend, I have a funny feeling I'm going to be trying it out sooner rather than later.

Picked up a Foodsaver last week too, so I'm looking forward to trying it out.
