Christmas Salmon
« Reply #-1 on: December 12, 2014, 02:34:28 PM »
I recently purchased 4.3 pounds of salmon to smoke for xmas presents and I changed it up a bit from my normal routine.  I normally use only the Bradley puck burner to make smoke but this time I added my A-Maze-N tube so I had twice the smoke (apple).  I normally use a soy brine but this time I did a Teriyaki brine and a Worcestershire brine.  We liked both better than the soy but we thought the Teriyaki was the best.

Ready for an 8-hour dip



Getting happy



This was so good!  Best yet.  Better than some Sockeye I did a couple weeks ago.



Thanks for looking.

Don,

Did you use heat or just cold smoke? How long and how did you know when it was done.

It looks excellent by the way...

This was hot smoked and I ramp up the temp.  These are from my process notes –

Smoked with apple for 16 pucks and Amazen tube w/apple pellets
Start at 115 for 1 hour, 120 for .5 hr, 130 for .5 hr, 140 for 1 hr, 160 for 1 hr, finished at 175
Removed as IT hit 140 (please don’t send the food safety police)
Spun and rotated baskets every 20 min.
Vent set at 50%
Total time – 6 hr.

I end up giving all the salmon I catch away.  If I had some that looked that good I might keep some for myself.
