Smoked Coho Salmon

[Ishi]

A friend had a two day fishing excursion to Lake Michigan for Salmon the end of May.
I was the DH if his son couldn’t go. My daughter was also expecting her fourth son to be born during this trip so I wanted to be he in two places at once but his son was able to go and I’m glad he could spend time with his dad!
Meeting my tenth grandchild for the first time at the hospital.

I stopped at his place last night to talk about his trip and he gave me a Coho to eat.
Luckily I found my cedar planks so smoking the salmon was on the menu.
Seasoned with lemon pepper

Just about done

Made fried tatters with green peppers, onions and garlic and fried in bacon grease.
Plated up

The salmon was excellent and not nearly as strong as most salmon I’ve ate over the years. We are planning a trip next May tentatively

NICE!!!
Coho or Silver Salmon are a great eating fish. I prefer them over King or Chinook Salmon for their milder flavor.
Although I do love Chinook salmon bellies and collar meat cooked over apple wood coals. My last house had 2 massive grannysmith apple trees in the yard. I don't miss cleaning up rotten apples by the hundreds,I do miss the apple wood trimmings for the offset smoker.

Your samlon looks like it turned out great.

I missed this, but congrats on the grandson. Grands are simply the best and yes, the salmon looks good as well...
