Hello all. Here is my first attempt at smoked salmon. It tastes great. I wish I had more as it did not last long. I had to fight off the vultures just to get these pictures.
It was the hickory. I get my beer can chickens tasting like bacon with a hickory smoke. ;)Well there is nothing left of the candy salmon. Wife and kids said it was very good but, they said if they were not told it was salmon, they would of thought it to be pork jerky. My son said it had the same flavor as the ribs i do. I tried a little more and it dose have a porky flavor to it. Would it be cause my smoker dose a lot of sausages in it, it gets cleaned right back to shinning new every month. Would it be that maybe I over smoked it and used to much hickory. Any feed back is great.
Alder is a great choice for salmon. I will also use apple, peach, and cherry.So what is a good wood to use for salmon. I like my smoked salmon, and bacon. I just don't want it to be bacon.
