After brining rinse fish thoroughly, space the fish on the
smoking racks adequately enough to allow air between the
fillets. Depending on the size of the fillets and
temperature of your smoker, time will vary but it usually
takes between 4-6 hours.1
hour before the fish is done lather with honey. (this is the
secret)
Fish preparation
I prefer to leave the skin on the
salmon, this allows for easy removal from the smoker once
done. Brine fish for 24 hours. To make the brine, mix the
above ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Tips for the smoker
Always use a hardwood (hickory or
mesquite work best). I always use the wet method.
