I’m about to make some cold smoked lox from some sockeye filets my coworker gave me last year from his Alaskan fishing trip. The problem is I may not have enough time to make all the filets before it starts getting too warm here. So i figured anything I don’t get to for lox, I can make gravlax. Now I’ve made gravlax before, and it was good. I used Ina Garten’s recipe. But I was curious if adding smoked alder salt to the mix would impart the smoke flavor without actually having to cold smoke the fish? If so, should I use 100% smoked salt for the salt portion, or just a little bit mixed in with the regular salt?

Not sure of the flavor question
