Smoked my first salmon today using The 3 Men's Fish Smoking Process. Preheated AmQ to 200 and probed in thickest portion of fillet and cooked to 136 degrees. Took about 2 1/2 hours of cook time and was like butter; texture was almost perfect. I used about 2 ounces of pecan and the smoke was just right for me. Only minor issue was I didn't let the pellicle form 100% resulting in minor surface issues when done.
Gotta try Andi's dry brine soon. Whatever happend to that 101 for salmon?
