Being station here in Japan, I have never tasted such amazing salmon. It truly is amazing. I'm looking forward to a near future TDY to Alaska so I can see the difference between it and fresh salmon there. That being said here are few picks of a couple smokes. I'm still trying different brines and haven't keyed in on a "this is exactly it" yet. I've use a couple simple brines and actually a couple store brines that were also delicious. The first pic was me it doing full. Then I cut them in portions. I think I like the later better as it is easy to cut frsh then bag and save later.
