Last weekend we caught a bunch of cutthroat trout on Henry's Lake in Island Park Idaho. I ended up with just over 10 lbs of fillets for smoking.  Below is the Brine recipe I used, (Minor adjustments to Bearcarver's Salmon Recipe) the fish turned out very good, but adding the fresh Jalapeno's still pretty mild in flavor.

1st Batch Brine:

1/2 quart apple juice

1/2 water

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/3 cup kosher salt

1/2 brown sugar

1 tsp Garlic powder

1 tsp Onion Powder

1 tsp Cayenne Powder 

2nd Batch Brine:

1/2 quart apple juice

1/2 water

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/3 cup kosher salt

1/2 brown sugar

1 tsp Garlic powder

1 tsp Onion Powder

1 tsp Cayenne Powder   

4 Fresh Jalapeno's diced

4 Fresh Garlic Cloves Diced

Smoked and Sealed, didn't get a Pic's when they came out of the smoker. It was about 1:30 or 2:00 AM Tuesday Morning when I finally got the fillets out of the Smoker.
