Just finished off my last piece of smoked Lox from last winter so thought I'd re-stock up the smoked lox area of freezer #2. Just another way to help reduce the amount of Salmon we have.

Very simple dry brine of 5/6 ratio of kosher salt / brown sugar. Brined for 8 hours.

Then over to another 8 hour wet brine of, water, br sugar, maple syrup, whole pepper, dry dill,,,,,,,,,,can't remember what else.

Refresh for 30+ minutes, sprinkle with more dill then fridge dry for 5 hours, room dry for another 3 hours, then off to a cold smoke session for 3 hours using Alder and then apple.

It will sit in the fridge for a few hours before I start slicing and freezing it.

Thanks all.  Done just in time I think,  for the wife wants to bring some tomorrow on her  Rock Cod and Dungeness crab combo fishing trip.  Happy wife = happy life.
