Message Unclerudy beers 30 º places 3 º 11:04 Mon 12/31/2012 Just smoked some, and it is cooling right now. Second ever item I have ever smoked. The sample was quite tasty. Smoked Salmon
Message Cobra beers 1100 º places 24 º 13:14 Mon 12/31/2012 A little dark, wouldn’t you say? What kind of wood did you use? Apple or Alder wood is best for salmon.
Message bdigital beers 659 º places 11 º 13:22 Mon 12/31/2012 Looks fine...a little dark but as long as you didn’t dry it out and oversmoke it I’m sure it’s tasty. Apple and Alder are fine...as well as Pecan and Mulberry
Message Unclerudy beers 30 º places 3 º 14:08 Mon 12/31/2012 Apple, alder, and mesquite.

Message DerWeg beers 2175 º places 48 º 14:12 Mon 12/31/2012 Looks like that nice ’smoke-crusted’ smoke house style fish you Americans do so well, delicious! Mostly up here we get the cold-smoked ’cured’ style pink smoked salmon (lox, gravlachs).
Message GT P beers 10001 º places 672 º 14:57 Mon 12/31/2012 Yeah it is unclear in the us if smoked salmon is cured Lox or actual smoked salmon.
Message garmonbozia beers 450 º places 5 º 00:40 Fri 1/11/2013 Nice looking salmon. I do a lot of smoked fish on my smoker. I do a stuffed salmon with crabmeat green onions that is very tasty. I use either cherry or apple wood. I find that mesquite tends to be a little over powering.
Message fiulijn P beers 28318 º places 745 º 03:00 Fri 1/11/2013 Where does the fish come from? Norway? US?...

Message ALLOVATE P beers 3846 º places 111 º 03:48 Fri 1/11/2013 I’d skip the mesquite for salmon. Your’s is a little dark but most people are used to cold smoked, cured salmon which retains that expected pinky orange colour. Gravlax meets injected smoke into chambers filled with cleaned fillet is the norm. How did yours taste? If it is still juicy and flaky, and has taken on the alder, applewood and mesquite, then job done. I love to try different things with smokers. Fish is delicate so getting it right can be tough!
Message Unclerudy beers 30 º places 3 º 03:53 Fri 1/11/2013 It tasted wonderful. I was not going for a lox style, but an actual smoked fish flavor. In northern Michigan, you see it all the time.
Message ogglethorp beers 919 º places 28 º 04:06 Fri 1/11/2013 Salmon jerky or Indian candy is fantastic too. I’ve been doing this recipe for years to rave reviews. http://www.fishsniffer.com/recipes/salmon12.html
