Smoked King Salmon

Beautiful Looks like the perfect snack, even for breakfast.

Nice reward.

Yum. Georgous pics as usual. I would love to enjoy a snack by the river.

OK Mr. T. The salmon and cheese set up looks great. But why do you keep taunting us with the great scenery pictures?

Vicky, That could be arranged.

Pags, There will be more coming.

Is that glaze on the salmon from maple syrup?

Looks like you got it really rough up that way Mr. T.

Pags, No glaze at all. Just shows the importance of a good pellicle.

Ready for smoker



Finished



dowlf, Your welcome to come up and help me rough it out.

That looks literally AMAZING,
i've never done Salmon, or any fish before. Do i need to brine the salmon with anything?

What spices did you use

You make my hungry

I'm about to do about six lbs of King Salmon tomorrow. I use Mr. T's brine recipe overnight, about an hour under a fan to form the pellicle, then in the smoker at 200 for about 1 1/2 hours with apple to an IT of 150 - 155 in the thickest piece. My total for the summer (stretching a little bit) will now be about 30 lbs, King, Copper River, and sockeye. Fabulous. Mr. T, THANK YOU! For those of you who don't know, King Salmon (now mostly disappeared from the US waters off Oregon and Washington, but still abundant in AK, is a large species that looks like farmed Atlantic salmon in appearance but has that wild salmon flavor and more internal fat than Sockeye or even Copper River. I usually sells for over $20 a lb but on sale can be had for around $14 - 16, where I can find it, at the end of the season (i.e., right now).
