Smoked Pink Salmon Dip

[ohboy]

I have not been on here for quite some time.  I am bringing back some pink and coho salmon from Alaska this weekend (that i caught mysel).  I am going to save the coho for meals but am looking to smoke the pink when i get home to make into different dips.  If anybody have any smoking suggestions for the pinks, it would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome idea on the smoked salmon spread. I have a request for more smoked salmon so i think i'll take few chunks and make a spread with it. Yum Yum!

I finally got time this weekend since the Huskers don't play til Saturday night.  Defrosted 4 of my pink salmon fillets and deboned them.  Decided to mix up a dry brine that I found online.  They will be sitting in that for about 5 hours, will rinse and let them sit in the fridge overnight.  This is a trial run and timing might be too long in the fridge tonight but it also might be worth it.  Smoking them tomorrow and will be experimenting all day up until probably game time and mowing the yard.  Have a great weekend everybody.  GO BIG RED!
