Smoked Salmon

[Gonna Smoke]

Just got back from fishing in Alaska with a freezer slam full of Coho. Home alone and wanting to eat some, I thawed out a fillet to smoke....

Amazing color that just can't be bought in a store. The picture really doesn't do the color justice. A couple of small red potatoes to be roasted and broccoli to be lightly steamed. Set up a Weber to cook indirect with maple, seasoned with CBP, coarse salt, a little garlic powder, and brown sugar. On it went...

Don't know what the cook temp was, just kept checking the IT. Pulled it at 130℉ and let it rest covered while the potatoes and broccoli finished...

Time to eat...

I would have liked to try a dry brine before cooking, but this was kind of a last minute decision. I've got plenty more salmon and hopefully time. I'm also wanting to make dip so that's coming soon...

Man that looks awesome! We smoke some every few weeks! I use Fish Monger seasoning on it.

Enjoying fruit of your labor. Looks delicious and the seasoning is spot on. Really looking forward to more fish cooks from you with that haul you made. I’ve made stuffed salmon too a couple different ways that was excellent.

A friend was in Alaska earlier this year and brought back salmon, halibut and cod. I'm curing a piece of salmon today for hot smoking tomorrow.

Thank you Eric. Sheila has been out of town , but is coming home tonight. Planning to cook some halibut for our zoo tomorrow night. Maybe more to come.

Thank you Justin! Good thing about this fish is I know exactly where it came from...

Yes Wayne, I have a 'but' load of halibut, as well...pun intended...

I cooked indirect on a Weber. I didn't watch the cook temp, only the I.T. of the fish. I pulled it at 130℉ and let it rest. I don't want my salmon dried out...
