Here is todays hot smoked salmon side. My smoker is not big enough to fit it whole so i had to cut it.
Marinated for 72 hours in simple soy based marinade. To cover whole side I made it x3.
2 cups water
1/2 cup teriyaki OR soy sauce
0.25 Lbs brown sugar
2 Tsp garlic powder

Smoked at 160F for almost 4 hours using alder pellets.
That belly strip is gone now😂

Is that accurate - ¼ lbs of brown sugar?
This looks fantastic and I just bought some salmon, so want to try this!

Yes its 1/4 lb. To my taste its the best ratio to offset soy sauce.

ETA. If at all possible start smoking at lower Temp. Like 135 for two hours. 145 for another two. And finish it off at 160-175.
Salmon gonna take more smoke and won’t leak the fat.
My smoker lowest setting is 180 but in reality its 165 at best.
 
Fine looking salmon you have there. Nicely done

Point for sure

That Salmon looks awesome, I love smoked fish/Salmon spread, I add capers, diced red onion or scallions and diced jalapeno peppers and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, and fresh cracked black pepper, coarse. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!!!
