Decided to change it up again.  Smoked a Sockeye Salmon over Apple and finished with a maple syrup glaze.   Also added a few chunks of the salmon to an asparagus risotto.  Asparagus was also smoked.   Enjoy!

Did a liquid brine and refrigerated for ~5 or so hours:

Added a little pepper and air dried outdoors with a fan for 2 hours and the on to the WSM:

That looks delicious! What's in your brine? Fish is kind of my focal point on here. Been practicing with other meats but really want to get good at fish.

I tried Bear's brine on this one:

Put 1/2 quart of apple juice in a pot on the stove, bringing to low boil & then down to simmer.
Add to this;
6 ounces of soy sauce
1/2 cup of non-iodized salt
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 tsp of Garlic powder
1/2 tsp of Onion powder
1/2 tsp of Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp of Dried Bay Leaf Flakes (or 2 or 3 fresh bay leaves)

Stir until salt is dissolved. Then add 1 1/2 quarts of water & ice to cool quickly.
