Yup! More Salmon Nuggies

[cmayna]

It's been 4 months since I smoked some Salmon and since the wife and I will be on a few boats for the next 3-4 months, thought it would be best to create some more Salmon nuggets to hand out while on the boat. A favorite for so many deck hands.

With 7.75# of Salmon which the wife and I catch, did the basic dry brine of 4/1 ratio of dark brown sugar over non iodized salt. Brined for 4+ hours. Smoked starting at 125f ending at 145f, over a 4 hour period.


On racks, room drying after being brined.

Into my MES40 with a mailbox mod and powered by an Auber PID controller. Using my favorite digital thermometer, the Thermoworks Smoke.

Finished product:

Thanks guys. They're such great pill poppers for so many while on the boat. Some take a bite and their rod suddenly goes off. So fun. This next week I need to smoke some tails and filets and share them along with cream cheese and crackers.

For the excess nuggets, I will vacuum seal them in 5 oz sealers, to share later on.

Looks great! I was supposed to go out on a charter on Lake Ontario. I was going to make salmon nuggets and lox with what I caught. I’ll have to stare at these a little longer now.

Like!
