Yes I realize I have not posted in a while, however with this being the dog days of winter plus the fact I have been on my winter diet it should make sense.
We were having some friends over a week or so back so I wanted to have something for snacks and just happened be making a run to my favorite warehouse market. I heard the Salmon calling my name and remembered I was out in the freezer so the decision was made.
Smoking Salmon is quite easy and I have found that starting with "smoked salmon" from the store is a great way to go. This Salmon, while advertised as smoked really has no smoked flavor at all. Add the fact it is curt to the correct sizes you really can not go wrong.
All I do is put the Salmon in aluminum pans, sprinkle some of my basic or chicken rub over it and put 4 or 5 small pats of butter in the pan for some good moisture and flavor.
Smoke for 2 hours on 225 and you will have some excellent hors devours for your next gathering.
I tried something different with a couple of the fillets this time by using a habanero seasoning and then topping with maple syrup looking for a sweet and spicy combo, however I was not happy with the result so I will try this again the next time adjusting my formula.
Keep Smoking My Friends
