First time doing anything w/fish. Didn't have great salmon available, but you roll with what you have.
About .8lbs in two pieces. Simple 2:1 brown sugar/salt brine for two hours, and took it to 140 internal w/apple chips.
Smells and tastes far better than I expected, and most importantly family was very happy w/the outcome. I also made some scotch oat cakes today (something I grew up eating, my grandmother's recipe) so I'd have to say it was a very good day. :D
Brined and ready to smoke.
Out of the smoker just a couple mintues, and my son and I have already eaten away the edge of the top piece. The smell was just fantastic.
Smoked salmon and scotch oat cakes. Can't get much better than that.
