OK, so I found an extra 7# of King Salmon the wife and I caught earlier this year, which I needed to turn into Salmon Jerky to treat our fishing buddies.

Dry brined the sliced fish for 3 hours using the basic 4/1 ratio of dk brown sugar / non iodized salt. Rinsed and room dried for 2 hours. Smoked in the MES for 2 hours with Alder and then into the dehydrator for 4 - 1/2 hours.

Happy Jerry with Jerky

Thanks everyone. It was a fun batch to make. Already planning to make a bunch more very soon.

Here's a couple bags worth for our next fishing trip.

Lots of work....(at least my method is), but the final product is so darn yummy, says our fishing buddies and their happiness is most important to us.
 
Jerky looks great! Do you always finish it in the dehydrator, and is there a noticeable difference from the fish that's finished in the smoker?
