Salmon

[bryant]

I have a MES  40" have never smoked fish   what are some easy ways to smoke salmon and not mess it up.   One at a time or maybe three-four slabs.  What wood would you use for fish.  I generally like hickory or mesquite for the red meats would apple or cherry be better.   ( I know it's up to my taste but)

I did a batch last week. 24 hrs. In brine of choice. Filets @180 for 2.5 hrs. I used apple. Yummy .

I usually get a salmon side from Costco, cut it into 2" wide filets, put the salmon into a reasealable bag with a handfull of brown sugar, some garlic and onion powder - I'm guessing about a table spoon each but I don't measure and it always seems to come out great.  Stick it into the fridge for a few days turning the bag over a few times each day.  

I use apple or pecan wood for salmon.  Smoke it for a couple of hours at 200 degrees and it tastes GREAT!

Good luck.
