Ready to hit the smoker



Getting started




Finished product



All sealed up and ready to go!!!




This fish turned out great!!!!!!!!!
The Course Ground Malabar Black Pepper added after the brine was rinsed off and just before going into the smoker made a big improvement. this is the first time I have added Pepper to my salmon. The flavor is excellent!!!

Man that looks delicious. Just last night (after smoking some baby back ribs) my wife asked me when I was going to smoke some salmon. Looking at your Q-view I'll have to smoke it soon.

Nice job...

Great looking Salmon! I to am anxious to try some. I also would love to know what ingredients you used for your brine.
Thanks!

Here is the recipe for the salmon

1 cup canning salt
7 cups brown sugar
3 Tbsp onion powder
3 Tbsp garlic powder
1 1/2 Tbsp black pepper


Let er soak in the rub for 12 hours, then move the bottom meat to the top and vice versa to get the other half of the meat into the juice created.

Smoke for 3-4 hours @ 140ish. When the fish is almost done turn the heat up to 160-165 for an hour to help kill anything that might need it.



There is an option to this recipe. Rub red pepper flakes on the fish right after it comes out of the brine.




I personally smoke for 3-4 hours at 120-130, then up the heat to 165 for an hour or so to get the internal temps up and finish the fish.
