Cold Smoked Salmon Finish

[LostArrow]

It's a perfect storm!
It's cold today high 47F
Found good looking fresh ( farm raised) salmon on sale
I gave up red meat for Lent!
Two pieces in the brine 1/4 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp "seafood rub"
Using my CB-500 as smoke chamber & a 6 in sawdust maze with sugar maple as smoke generator.
The cold smoked get 8 hrs, ( left on overnite) then vacuum sealed & frozen.
New part
Just opened my first pack when we had some friends over, maybe not a home run but at least "Stand-up triple
Sliced thinly & served with capers, purple onion , & cream cheese WOW!
Should be easy to mass produce for Christmas presents!

Looks good LA. If you want to get some paper thin slices buy a flexible slicing knife.

A man after my own heart! Nice looking LA....But, are those Ritz crackers the closest thing to a bagel that you can get down there?

Oh man, does that look good 

There's something about those ingredients that just fall together like poetry.  I am with T, however, in that I think I'd have to chase down an executive class bagel for the "holder".  Thanks for sharing, LA.
