Last week I was out fishing for Black mouth, Puget Sound resident Chinook salmon.

After a beautiful sunrise:  


I hooked into a nice 10 lb fish. Here it is ready to go into the brine.


I use a dry brine of 4 to 1 Brown Sugar to Kosher Salt.

I normally allow the fish to cure for 12 to 24 hours. Depending on how

firm I want the end product.


Here it is coming out of the brine. And ready to rest for about 8 hours.

And here is the finished product.


I smoked this today at 140 deg over Alder wood smoke for a total of 6 1/2 hours.

I hit an IT of 145 to 150. 
Oh--OK----Had me worried when you said smoked it at 140*.

145* to 150* IT is Great !!
