After a special request for some smoked salmon from a property owner, where I turkey hunt, I got busy getting a batch ready. After getting a batch done, taste tested and delivered I decided I better make another batch. So here's a pic of some of the second batch.
Recipe:
2 quarts water
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup non-iodine salt
1 cup soy sauce
3/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp onion salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp lawry's salt
5 shakes of Frank's Hot Sauce
Brined for 14 hours. Sat out for 3 hours to dry on racks. Smoked with cherry and apple branches/chunks for 2 1/2 hours from 160-200 degrees with a heavy smoke for the first hour.
